HL-10 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 This is Airfix's kit of the Typhoon. Apart from the firing wires for the rockets, it is built completely out of the box. It is a complex build, due to its size, and the impressive level of detail, and there is a bit more flash than expected for such a new kit, otherwise there are no real pitfalls in assembly. I used Xtracolor enamels for the camouflage colours, and the decals are from the kit as well. Thanks for looking ! Angelo. 53 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Very nice result , good to see you got the colour right under the rear canopy , many make the mistake of painting this in one of the cameo colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the instructions are quite clear about this, otherwise I would have probably painted it the wrong colour!

kapam Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Fabulous! Love the character of the car door Typhoon. Your beautiful build really does it full justice. The subtle shading and weathering is superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJJunis Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Really outstanding! Great weathering. You can see why the German armor troops feared it. You really captured the character of the Typhoon in my opinion. Thanks for sharing! All the Best! Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can be quite so definite about the fuselage colour under the rear of the canopy - on a 'car-door' Typhoon. Most were certainly produced with the camouflage colours extended over this part of the fuselage, whereas all the sliding-hood '(bubble-top' if you must) Typhoons did indeed have the area under the canopy (when closed) painted Night (black to most eyes). No documentary evidence has come to light, and the area is notoriously camera shy, but there are some shots that indicate some of the later 'car-door' aircraft may have had this area in a dark colour, possibly black; maybe a 'field mod'.

Most definitely read the instructions lots of times, and take it nice and steady adding all the plumbing to the engine, you will need some long, thin tweezers!
