Marcdb71 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 And this is my second build been itching to do this one since it got delivered got the 60lb rockets & squadron canopy & hopefully some custom masks? With some help from these books aswell.
Peter W Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 This is one kit that I've hovered over the buy button on many occasions, so watching this one with interest. Good luck Pete
Marcdb71 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 That's how I was with it SOOO glad i bought it work of art with the castings really been wanting to do this one!
Bertie McBoatface Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Impressed? Heck yeah! Is it all resin? If so it must weigh a ton.
Marcdb71 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Impressed? Heck yeah! Is it all resin? If so it must weigh a ton. You know never thought of weighing the kit but took it to work & weighed it all pieces weigh at 600g but the wings which are 1 piece mouldings weigh 100g each!!!
Bertie McBoatface Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I hope the undercarriage is a strong one. Metal presumably.
Marcdb71 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 Just got confirmation from Graham @ Relish Models got the masks I want so now I know which markings i'm going to do TP V of 198 sqn.
Marcdb71 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Posted July 1, 2012 Here are the shot's of the kit And a size comparison between this & hasegawa Typhoon

Radleigh Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I had the Revell Typhoon once but ruined it when I was really young! Shame really... Look forward to seeing this progress
