Wartime picture of Typhoon framework

[scalewarship]

Hi all

with all the talk about the colours of the typhoon framework colours I have just found this picture on google search

which is pretty clear as to colours, has this been discussed? I feel sure there will be a can of worms opened here but I would really like to know if this was a one off or not.

Regards Robin

HI Robin

I think you will find that is the 2nd Typhoon prototype, P5216. Note cockpit has solid fairing behind seat.

The black japanned framework was seen on the Hurricane prototype.

Great photo, but a 'one off'

Or perhaps a "two off"

more importantly, i think the picture shows just how much detail you need to add to Airfix's already great looking 1/24 kit if you are going for full detail!
