    Just wanted to say thanks for this GB and the views, support and the inspirational builds. My Typhoon is finished and pics uploaded in the gallery. It’s been good to get a build finished and complete. If time permits and it’s ok I’ll be back with a second build before too long. Will be watching in the meantime and enjoying the other builds taking shape!

    Hawker Typhoon IB MN597, ‘ZY-E’ of 247 Sqdn, France, July 1944. In memory of Sinjo Reidar (age 22) of Norway who lost his life in this aircraft on 18 July 1944. Airfix 1/72 kit build out of the box with the addition of CMK Seat and gunsight. Decals mix of kit and serials and letters from the Stash. Brush Painted with Acrylics (Hataka, AK, citadel and lifecolor) and Enamels (Arcus).

    I think she’s done… A nice kit and looks the part but certainly fiddly and frustrating at times (especially the disintegrating decals and I’ll have nightmares about the leading edge stripes that wouldn’t stick or settle and getting the rockets to stay on the rails….) time to let it all dry and settle then pics to go up in the gallery tomorrow… Thanks everyone for joining me on this journey and thank you to the team for this great group build (and for helping me finally complete a build this year!)

    Some more progress tonight The Subject I’ve decided to model is MN597 ‘ZY-E’ of 247 Sqn in which Norwegian Sgt. Sinjo Reidar Ryen, lost his life on 18 July 1944.

    Stripes… Hopefully I’ll be able to locate the holes for the rockets once the decals are dry…

    A little more progress tonight:

    Camouflage on weathered/faded and seal with a satin coat. Its all Coming together now. Just needs to dry then have a bit more weathering added before final assembly.
  8. Rafwaffe
    Another coat of Ocean Grey on tonight. A bit miffed with the brush strokes. An object lesson in not rushing maybe…
  9. Rafwaffe
    It’s been a little while but a bit more progress. First couple of layers of Ocean Grey.

    A bit more progress today and some paint added. Helpfully every hobby paint company seems to have a slightly different interpretation of ww2 colours (using a mix of enamel and acrylics to build layers and see if I can add some tonal differences)
  11. Rafwaffe
    Some glue, some putty, some sanding, some progress
  12. Rafwaffe started following *done* Yesteryear once more Spitfire PR Mk. XI and Airfix Rocket Typhoon Mk IB

    An afternoon’s progress:

    A package arrived today from the kindly folk at Hannants and with a day off work, the kids at school and the wife at work, I’m not going to waste this opportunity!

    Between this kit and the DDay GB I’m hoping to get some mojo back. The original defiant kit has a special place in my heart as it was one of my earliest builds as a young modeller. I’m looking forward to doing this OOB and getting it done.

    I’m 0/2 for group builds this year. Hopefully between this and my Airfix GB defiant I’ll get some hobby mojo back. Not 100% settled on which aircraft yet but hopefully will get started soon as I’m waiting for some aftermarket bits to arrive from Mr Hannants.
