Long-time HyperScale visitor and Forum contributor Mike Reeves joined forces with Mike Williams to launch a new resin accessory company, "Two Mikes Resin".

Amongst his first releases are two accessories for Revell's excellent 1/48 scale Eurofighter Typhoon. These are as follows:

48008 - Eurofighter Typhoon Intake Covers (pictured above)

This is a simple set designed to cover the jet intakes of Revell's kit. removal and cleanup of the parts will be very straightforward. It is nice to see the intake covers cast in red resin, so the modeller may choose to use the parts without paint. The red base colour will also make coverage easier if the modeller chooses to paint the covers (red is notoriously difficult to apply over other colours).

Handles are supplied separately in grey resin, and spares are provided.

48009 - Eurofighter Typhoon APU Exhaust

Revell's Eurofighter APU exhaust is a simple indent on the kit part. Two Mikes Resin has released a deep, hollow exhaust to enhance this area.

Some drilling and cleaning up of the kit part will be required, but this should be within the capabilities of a moderately experienced modeller. Please note that the only section of the resin part visible on the finished model will be the oval exhaust, so you need not worry about the slightly rough concave base. The concave base is only there to provide a firm mounting point for the exhaust.

Both accessories are professionally packed in resealable clear plastic boxes, and both contain nicely detailed instructions with colour photographs.

Two Mikes Resin's 1/48 scale Intake Covers and APU Exhaust will be very welcome accessories for anyone building Revell's Eurofighter Typhoon.
