Telboy3510 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This my latest build the Hawker Typhoon, having built the Eurofighter Typhoon (see previous RFI) my intention is to display the 2 together as old and new. This model went together so easily with very little filler. I painted it with Tamiya acrylics using a conversion table I downloaded, I'm not convinced by the grey on the upper surfaces so I will be interested to see what you more experienced modelers think. All comments and criticisms are welcome. Thanks for looking. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave N Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Very nice Typhoon.. The camo colours look good ...(clean paintwork too). Just finishing this kit, it's a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nice job - particularly in flying mode, which helps to show its purposeful lines. Really like the 2nd TAF C1 roundels on the wings. For my money the RAF should have kept those post-war too. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Looks very nice. The Airfix kit is great isn't it? I just finished one myself. I love what you did with the stand -- the dive angle really gives it some action. This is not a criticism, but an observation -- I noticed in some of my reference photos that the exhaust staining kind of arched up and then back, which is how I chose to do mine. Yours looks fine too. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Neat! I like how there pilot looks like he's leaning into the sight to aim his rockets. Really nice touch. The ocean gray looks right to me. Edited March 23, 2018 by SoftScience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Ha, SoftScience beat me to it - love the way the pilot leans forward, and especially in the last shot where you can see him peering intently through the windscreen! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Top stuff! You say you're not convinced by the grey colour, but it looks fine to me (though not an expert on such matters). They do say that, when it comes to grey, there are fifty shades.................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
