This striking combination brings together two iconic aircraft of the Royal Air Force, showcasing both modern frontline power and essential pilot training heritage.
The Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 “Blackjack” represents the cutting edge of UK air defence, while the Shorts Tucano T.1 highlights the crucial role of training in preparing RAF pilots for advanced combat aircraft.
The Typhoon FGR.4 is a highly agile multirole fighter, capable of air superiority and ground attack missions.
Equipped with advanced avionics, powerful engines, and a wide range of modern weaponry, it delivers exceptional performance in all-weather operations.
The “Blackjack” scheme adds a distinctive and eye-catching finish, making it particularly appealing for display.
Complementing this is the Shorts Tucano T.1, a turboprop trainer that has been instrumental in shaping generations of RAF pilots.
Known for its reliability and excellent handling characteristics, the Tucano provides a vital stepping stone between basic flight training and fast jet conversion.
Together, these aircraft represent the full journey of an RAF pilot—from early training to operational deployment—making this pairing both historically significant and visually compelling.
A perfect addition for aviation enthusiasts and scale modellers, this set offers a unique blend of heritage and modern air power.

| Short Description | This 1/72 scale twin pack features two of the RAF's most iconic display aircraft: the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 'Blackjack' and the Shorts Tucano T.1. Both models showcase bold all-black Aggressor designs with union flag inspired markings and RAF roundels on their tails. Comprising 91 pieces across both kits and rated at skill level 2, this set is perfect for modellers looking to enhance their skills. Key Features History Dressed in a sleek all-black Aggressor scheme, it also featured union flag inspired markings and an RAF roundel on each side of its tail. Regardless of the weather, when this aircraft performed with afterburners lit, it was a spectacle to witness. This scheme was reminiscent of the one used by the RAF Shorts Tucano T.1 display in 2008, which also had a black airframe with red, white, and blue accents to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Royal Air Force. Two Tucanos were adorned in this style: ZF210 and ZE338, with one acting as a backup should the primary display aircraft be unavailable. The Tucano served as the RAF's basic training aircraft for three decades until its retirement in 2019. Continuing a now well-loved tradition, Typhoon ZJ914 was affectionately nicknamed 'Blackjack' by enthusiasts. The aircraft sported this admired scheme for three complete display seasons and even during the early months of preparation for the 2024 airshow season. Is it any surprise that 'Blackjack' became one of the most beloved aircraft to represent the Royal Air Force in the 21st century? 'Blackjack' and the aircraft that inspired its appearance are now both available to construct in 1/72 scale - an excellent project for modellers beginning to gain confidence in this hobby.
