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."

Superficially the EAP and the Eurofighter Typhoon are very similar, but on closer inspection there are a fair few differences. The Typhoon has a cockpit canopy that opens aft, similar to that of the F/A-18 Hornet. The EAP had a three-piece cockpit transparency, with the middle section hinged on the side. Unlike most of my aircraft models, this is minifig scale to fit with other models in the collaboration.

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.
