Limited Edition of only 500 models globally

In 2025 the German Air Force Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 71 Richthofen returned to its home base at Wittmundhafen after more than three years away for major runway and infrastructure renovation work. As part of the celebration, Eurofighter Typhoon serial 31+07 was given a special Back Again paint scheme to mark the unit coming back to Wittmund Air Base. The striking livery was applied ahead of the jets touching down on 17 July 2025, and it became a well known sight in the region as the Typhoons resumed operations at their modernised base.

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
