Daz's Airfix Typhoon! **FINSHED**
Daz's Airfix Typhoon! **FINSHED**
My fourth and final(?) build for this GB will be the Airfix 1/72 Hawker Typhoon Ib:
This build will be OOB, but the squadron codes and serial will be those of the aircraft flown by Wing Commander Charles Green, MN666/CG. I think these are the same codes which will be on the big Airfix Tiffy as well!

Sorry I've been a bit slow with the updates on this one! I've tried to remember to take a few photos along the way, but inevitably some have been forgotten about.
Anyway, here's what I have....
Painted innards and some assembly:
Fuselage and wing centre-section going together:
Wings going on:
Wings going on, part 2:

Paint going on:
Beginning to apply some stripes:
Stripes almost done, just need tidying up:
The model is now on its gear with the prop attached. Not much left to do construction-wise!

Re: Daz's Airfix Typhoon!
I'm not sure why one needs the 1/24 scale kit - yours seems to have plenty of detail !

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: Daz's Airfix Typhoon!
It's not a bad wee kit at all, this. Certainly has the right look and feel of a Typhoon - and it's something different when it's parked in amongst the Spitfires!

Re: Daz's Airfix Typhoon!
Looking good Daren, haven't built the one in my stash yet- seeing how well it goes together I really must get around to it.

Finished!
I stuffed some of the striping, but I'll redo it later. I left off the rocket rails and bomb racks because I wanted to show the Typhoon as "clean". It looks rather elegant without them, but still potent at the same time.

Nicely done but it does look a bit naked
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
