  1. Hi All, I'm in the process of building the Airfix 1/24 Hawker Typhoon. I'm not really a fan of the options presented as I want a non personalised, 4 blade, tempest tail, rocket firing typhoon in half d-day stripes. After several weeks of research I think I have decided on either MN526 TP-V or MN880/882 TP-Q. Some of you will know these as the aircraft often shown marked up with Red Squadron markings despite much evidence to the contrary (personally I think the appearance of a different colour is due to the invasion stripes staining the paint) However I can't find any information on which type of dust filter/air intake equipment they were fitted with at the time Given that I've seen drawings and paint scheme diagrams showing everything from red squadron markings to red spinners plus 2 different serial numbers for TP-Q, I don't really trust anything short of photos or eyewitness testimony ( preferably with some sort of diary or maintenance log) I'm awaiting the delivery of some books that I'm hoping might help, but in the meantime I was wondering if any of you have any info on either aircraft or any info on any similar aircraft? Cheers, Siegemaster
