paul coudeyrette Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hello In the mean time the future tempest by Pacific coast, the kit revell of typhoon , emerged towards the end of the 1980s, is a model MK1B said "door". The transformation in buble is done with the paragon kit comprising: four-bladed, windscreen and canopy, propeller Interior cockpit, exhaust, rockets and their rails and wheels.The adaptation of the resin kit is without problems.I voluntarily left appear the riveting, having taken care of well to mitigate it.The comp is in the colours of the aircraft of F/O Hugh FRASER, author of air 3victoires, including 2 FW190 and especially an ME262, 9 K + Hn 5/KG (J) 51. paintings usual humbrol brush... to your remarks informed! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What a lovely model but I must tell you that the RCAF units including 439 Sqn did not carry rockets,....sorry! They only carried bombs, usually 1,000lb`ers or anti personnel weapons by the latter stages of the war. Judging by the black spinner and lack of D-Day stripes,.....it looks as if it depicts an aircraft from 1945 and if so it should also have C1 Type roundels above and below the wings! I am so sorry to break this to you as it is a stunning looking model, Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so sorry to break this to you as it is a stunning looking model, Cheers Tony O Goodnight Tonyot I can reassure you right away: you don't break my nothing! As I note in title I mounted this kit in the early 1980s and doing no what if, I used decals plank representing a plane of the squadron 439 in 1945 and not having at the time that modest mister kit referenced journals, being very far from the plethora of current journals and other reference... I was doubly coated in error, knowing that if you look at my templates, they are very often poor weapons: this isn't my passion on a model and this model ,I did reference to mister kit who claimed that virtually all typhoon in 1945 were equipped with this weapon... A forum is to exchange ideas or knowledge do and any comments should be welcome, which I gladly accept...Now the huge diversity of equipment in times of war or after war, guess exceptions which one you'll grant me here and thank you in advance and like everything must end on a smile, know that I do not put this kit the trash !!!!!!! Thank you for these details , but the lure of the brush is arise certain breaches to the history... mea culpa Circle of friends Paul also forgiveness (for the no doubt) mistranslation of my English...

spitfire Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hello Denis should launch you without apprehension, it is an easier conversion that it seems. good success. Yes I should do it, I have used Paragon conversions to build a Spitfire Mk VIII and XII, which went together very well, so it should be no problem.

keith in the uk Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Nice work paul , i have built this kit together with the Paragon conversion set and it dose give the old revell kit a new look. One problem i did find with the Paragon set was the wheels , the centre hubs are too small and sit proud of the tyres when they should be flush , i found the kit hubs to be better and used them , just adding flats . . i also have the MDC wheels but these seem to be a direct copy of the kit wheels and are not much better.

paul coudeyrette Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 ................. i also have the MDC wheels but these seem to be a direct copy of the kit wheels and are not much better. Goodnight Keith This is a practice often, but in 'small artisans' most commonly found resin, rather than in a brand like MDC... as what the easiest solution to the maximum price has no borders!

Gilles Pepin Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Good day all: I am the researcher/model builder for the Canadian Aviation Heritage Centre, in Montreal, Canada. I copy and paste an excerpt of a recent IPMS Canada posting: I am currently commissioned by Dr. Peter Roper to build three Typhoons models for him: 1) Italeri Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib (late/early) (kit IT2734) (note: Mk.Ib (late/early) are the type produced and delivered prior to MN130, with the 3-bladed props and the regular tailplanes, as opposed to Mk.Ib (late/late) which had the 4-bladed thrashers and the larger tailplanes); 198 Squadron, RAF Tangmere, code TP-X, serial MN137, March 06, 1944; its pilot, F/L Peter Roper, crash-landed during a night-training/escort mission; aircraft damaged beyond repair (DBR) 2) Italeri Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib (late/early) (kit IT2734, with almost every available aftermarket items available; I will write a review from a synergy perspective); 197 Squadron, RAF Thorney Island, code SA-Q, serial MN125, June 07, 1944; its pilot, F/L Peter Roper, was shot down by flak, seriously injured, PoW, …; google “Roper Typhoon” and choose “No time for fear…” for full article and fascinating recent interview 3) Revell Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib (early) (kit 4782, Paragon conversion to Mk.Ib (late/early)); same as SA-Q above; if you have read the CBC article mentioned above, you will understand why this model is to be permanently displayed at the war museum in Tilly-sur-Seulles (from what I hear, over the objections of the French, who claim they can do better than a Kanuk modeler, even a French-Canadian like myself; perhaps I will need to don a bérêt, wear a baguette under one armpit, and acquire a serious case of "after me, the deluge" attitude!) As stated above, Mk.Ib (late/early) are the type produced and delivered prior to MN130, with the 3-bladed props and the regular tailplanes, as opposed to Mk.Ib (late/late) which had the 4-bladed thrashers and the larger tailplanes. Please correct me if I am inaccurate. In any case, I need to purchase the Paragon conversion set. Being on the west side of the Pond, I can rely only on eBay, and none of the Paragon Typhoon 1/32 conversion kits are available. HELP! I need to complete that 1/32 scale Typhoon before May, 2016.
