The last one in the SEA scheme looks odd - but cool. Could also be in Brasilian service?

What Dizz said.

Great modelling but what did you use to take the pictures?  If it's a phone you haven't still got the protective plastic film over the lens have you (don't laugh, i've seen it done)?

Nice. I like the two British ones the best. Those look cool and I love an aeroplane that is all bombed up !

These 3 were/are the Airfix version of a 17 Sqn Typhoon, basic but buildable.
The next 3 are somewhat of a curates egg
Revell early 90's EFA/JF90 - very basic and only looks like a typhoon through  squinted eyes.
Italeri 2 holer - pretty good detail, pish poor painting by yours truly
Revell 2 holer ( 2004?) version, excellent detail, no paint as yet, but will be a BoB german version.
Pics to follow once tablet is cleaned off, probably this weekend.
