Phil @ Flory Models Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Haven't posted much in the forum this last two weeks, sorry but I've been up to my neck in sprue's. Here's the 1/72 scale Revell Typhoon. To be honest it was alot harder than the Revell 1/48 and I used blue tack to put the canopy up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Very nice Phil - One small thing to point out (which will take you all of 5 secs) at the base of the tail, right above the drag chute door, there is a long "sausage" like pointy out thing - some kind of sensor I guess. Check out some Tiffie pics and you'll very soon see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswoofie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Nice Typhoon Is it OOB? What's the cockpit like in the kit? Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil @ Flory Models Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 What's the cockpit like in the kit? Karl. Small !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not bad at all, it's strait out of the box. I was building it at the same time as a 1/48 F-15E and was very impressed with the level of detail in a 1/72 scale kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamEM Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 To be honest it was alot harder than the Revell 1/48 and I used blue tack to put the canopy up. Brilliant job, makes mine look like a crashed one. Although i'm very new to modelling this should be level 5 and the 1/48 a level 4, i think Revell like their paint guides, they have it the wrong way round. I found the 1/72 very hard going but for a pro like you Phil you made it look easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cop Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 As a kid I was never fond of the Revell offerings, but they have really come into their own over the last couple of years. The quality of your work helps as well Phil. Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Lovely Phoon Phil Is that blue tack I see holding on the canopy??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) Damn,damn, damn ! You jet guys do it every time to me. I read "Typhoon" and being a WW-2 guy myself I ofcourse think this is the Hawker Typhoon. Great looking model non the less.

Phil @ Flory Models Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Lovely Phoon Phil Is that blue tack I see holding on the canopy??????? Yep it's blue tack, you'll see it alot on my models as the have to go though the postal system, so it's just there for the photos. once there at there new home they can fix permanently. Plus have you seen how Revell would have you fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takamota Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Some nice detailing on that one Phil.. Not bad at all for 1/72. Is the 1/72 one the same sprues as the 1/48? or totally different beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Very nice build. Got to say the Typhoon is growing on me, now their getting more common. I've got both the single seat and two seater versions on the "To do" pile next to the bench. After seeing yours Phil, I look forwards to starting mine. Shaun.

Is the 1/72 one the same sprues as the 1/48? or totally different beast? There almost the same just the cockpit and canopy that differ. The decals are the same, I found it alot harder to put together then the 1/48 which apart from the wing roots goes together very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takamota Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Cheers mate.. got one to do. I struggled a bit with the intake area on the 1/48. oh and on the main gear door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb2562 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Agree with Shaun, these things start to grow on you especially when they come out as good as this. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric2020 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have about ready the Italeri offering of the Typhoon and getting the prototype of ESCI. I painted it black as I like that very much. I lost the serial decals when I used set and sol. If anyone can help me on those??? Italeri kitnumber 042 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
