It can be quite tricky to get full aircraft shots in museums. This is the unique technology demonstrator that led to the Eurofighter Typhoon
The British Aerospace EAP, for Experimental Aircraft Programme, was a mid-eighties technology demonstrator for what later became the Eurofighter Typhoon. I was going to build this model for the 2020 BFVA eXperimental Military collaboration. However, due to COVID-19 the event, which should taken place last weekend, was cancelled and I put on the back burner for a bit. I'm hoping I'll be able to display at next year's event.

What does E.A.P. means?
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the raven "Nevermore."

Another difference with the Typhoon is that the EAP had a cranked wing, whereas the Typhoon has a straight leading edge. EAP was typically displayed with 6 dummy missiles. Each outboard weapons station carried an ASRAAM and four BAe Skyflash missiles were mounted under the fuselage. These were British developments of the American AIM-7 Sparrow and were also used on F-4 Phantoms in British service and the Tornado F.3, as well as Swedish Viggen fighters.
The EAP's undercarriage also differs from that of Eurofighter. The latter has main wheels that fold inboard, much like on an F-4 Phantom. The EAP's fold forward to lie flat in the wing root/ outboard section of the lower fuselage. It all works on my model, although I do have to remove one of the forward Skyflash missiles to have enough room to open the door for the nosegear. The size and locations of the missiles made it all quite tricky.
The ASRAAM missiles were built using minifig candle parts, which is an idea by Corvin Stichert.
To save development costs, the EAP used a modified Tornado aft fuselage, including its RB199 engines and a vertical fin.

To fit with the styles of the other builders in the collaboration, I've gone for a (mostly) studless look. The wings were built using bricks on their sides and like those on the other aircraft models I've built for the collaboration, I added cheese slopes and curved slopes to the leading and trailing edges to make them less blunt.
