Hobby Master 1/72 Eurofighter FGR4: RAF

Prior to 2019 RAF IX(B) Squadron had been equipped with the Tornado with the task of air defence of the Northern UK. In the same year the unit was disbanded and immediately reorganized as the first RAF Aggressor Squadron flying the Eurofighter Typhoon. Based at Lossiemouth, Scotland the unit continued to display the Bat on the tail and scheme became known as the "Batman painting". ZJ914 was the first aircraft to receive the "Aggressor scheme". Along with the "Aggressor" role the squadron is also responsible for Quick Reaction Alert.

Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
