Seamus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Evening all,Back along, I chose the Airfix Typhoon with the intention of building something nice and easy quickly. Two months later, it's finally done, and to be honest I'm happy to have it off the bench; not the greatest model I'll ever build. Nothing wrong with the kit at all, I just made a bit of a hash of things during construction and lost a bit of interest. Anyway, here she is...Thanks for looking, please excuse the dust and crud on the model, it's something I seem to be having an increasing problem with, no doubt due to the length of time it seems to take me to finish a kit these days....Cheers,Shaun 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcawthorne Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Shaun, can't see why you're crabbing yourself, it's a great little model that's well finished. Thanks for sharing it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Great little bird, very neat ! The paint job looks perfect as well the whole kit from my side of the web. The eye of a camera can be unforgiving, you may ask yourself how i know that ?!? Brilliant build and a good inspiration to start my Typhoon. The hard edged RAF camo style is always a challenge for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Well Seamus if I finished a model to such a high standard within two months I'd be delighted. To say nothing of rather surprised Grand job. May I ask what masking method you used to achieve such neat camouflage edges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's a superb looking Typhoon that looks beautifully finished! Well done. I'm a fan of this kit - enjoyed building one in flight and got another with some Eduard PE to do one on the ground. I like what you've done with yours and will bookmark it for future reference. Thank you for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks for the kind feedback all. I'm my own worst critic and can't see past the faults with the model, but your comments are reassuring and much appreciated May I ask what masking method you used to achieve such neat camouflage edges? Hi Col, masking was done using the trusty blu-tak sausage method. To get the hard edge I simply angled the airbrush to spray into every nook and cranny, rather than perpendicular as you would if trying to gain a softer edge.Thanks again, Shaun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try that on my next spray job as it looks to have worked perfectly for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
