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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBAE SYSTEMS is a registered trade mark of BAE Systems plc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"whatsInside\" class=\"section section--default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item wysiwyg\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic model kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint layout sheet and decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57245823893888,"sku":"AIR-A40003","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/a40003_1.jpg?v=1768482376","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/airfix-a40003-eurofighter-typhoon-fgr-4-blackjack-shorts-tucano-t-1-twin-pack-model-kit","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
