Hello everyone … I am presenting my 1/72 Frog Hawker Car-door Typhoon Mk.Ib. It is in the markings of 181 Squadron March 1943 during Exercise Spartan. 181 was one of the RAF units tasked with playing the Luftwaffe during the exercise. This is the reason behind the big white panels along each side of the nose. I was also building its younger cousin in the Matchbox nostalgia group build. Please feel free to ask questions, leave comments, or visit my build thread. Dennis https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235104895-car-door-tiffy-exercise-spartan-march-1943/

Good morning everyone … Going to throw my 1st hat into the ring with the 1/72 Frog Typhoon 1B car-door kit. Im going to do it in the markings of 181 Squadron during Exercise Spartan. This photo ⬇️ is of the sister squadron 183 both 181 & 183 were used as opposing force during the Exercise. Thus the distinctive white marking's. Too add to this the lower port wing was all black. https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/uk/raf/typhoon/typhoon-ib-183-during-exercise/ Here are my sprue photo’s. I probably wont mount the RP-3 rockets on the wings as this was only an exercise. Though they're from an Airfix Beaufighter as they're much better quality than the kits. I may use the rockets on my Tempest build ? Dennis
