Basilisk Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Good to see these two moving forward The list of faults in both kits is unfortunate and also the first time I've seen many of them mentioned. Thanks Col. Fortunately the major faults are only noticeable when looking head on! IMO, the Brengun opening looks more like the real thing; it's a very wide opening: It certainly does! It is the filter location Brengun has located dead centre by default which looks a bit odd. But this is fixable if you know about it by gluing the filter a bit lower. I am not wearing my rivet counter hat when building in 1/72 - I reserve this for larger scales . But comparing these two kits to details on the Airfix 1/24 Typhoon, a lot of the smaller details are more accurate and refined on the Brengun kit. But the kit does need a bit more work due to its short run nature. Cheers, Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Looking at the Hendon Typhoon (picture from wikipedia, should be ok to borrow) It seems that neither intakes are a perfect match... Anyway, I like both your models anyway. The Master gun barrels look especially tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The Hendon Typhoon's intake is only accurate in exterior shape -- the radiator was built from a truck radiator and can't be used as a reference for the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) It seems that neither intakes are a perfect match... It looks that way, Airfix too small and Brengun a bit too large. The Hendon Typhoon's intake is only accurate in exterior shape -- the radiator was built from a truck radiator and can't be used as a reference for the real thing. That is good to know!
