Airfix new tooling Typhoon 1/72

Hi all,

Please don't be too judge mental, but I thought I'd share my first attempt at one of the new tooling typhoons that Airfix have recently released.

And what a fantastic kit it is, feel bad for not letting it go to someone who knows what they're doing a little better... Haha.

But anyway, here she is! I made the starter kit version as that was the only one I could find(and still haven't seen a "normal" boxed kit since) at the Hendon model show. The paints were the ones complimentary with the kit, and in hindsight I wish that I had used the Revell acrylics that I'm used to but C'est la vie! The decals were great, hardly any silvering from them at all.

Sadly for all of you I was too excited to get building and so didn't have time to stop, and take pictures in-between assembly stages, this kit was built in a night(and early morning, if you want to get technical)

Here she is!

Hi GuidoKM,

she builds up into a lovely little aircraft - I especially like how you've made the wing mods to fit the cannon details. I've yet to remove a single part of mine from the sprue

Thanks WV908,

The only thing that troubled me regarding the open hatches was having to split the roundel. But as I'm sure you know, a fantastic kit. Next time I'll do some more planning before throwing the roundels in the water! Haha.

All the best
