JMMendes Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It´s another Airfix Hawker Typhoon Ib...i know a lot of people have done this subject, probably because its such a good model ! A great work from airfix on this one... I ´ve build this in a GB comemorating the 70 years of DDay, and i finish it last week...i just wanted to put the photos here also ! It was my first model using the airbrush...and what a diference...so much more you can do... First the small base: Used a cheap picture frame and used some powders and acessories...then i "invented" a fire extiguisher Here is the Typhoon alone: Final : I painted the DDay stips on the pic frame for "dramatic" effect... I loved doing this comemorative model, a very small tribute, for such an important day... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
