RMCS Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Well a good friend of mine has asked me to build this amazing kit. So I am venturing out of my comy 1:48th zone and going large! There are a few aftermarket additions, namley the Eduard Interior PE, HG Fabric seatbely and Yahu instrument panel. I ambuliding MN666 'CG' which lead one of the first rocket attacks on the beach head on the 6th June 1944. This I hope is going to be a bit special, so I am going to take my time with this one! So I have started after giving everything a good warm wash. It is going together beautifully! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've seen these pictures on another place, but no matter, Good luck again to you! Nice to see more Tiffies being built! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Good luck with the Typhoon. I have one stashed away but tbh I'm a bit scared of it. Bit more practice first I think, building the Roden Sea Gladiator then maybe the Has. Typhoon in 1/48 or maybe a Seafire (It's all just avoidance)... Think I'll just watch this one for a bit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Every time I see one started I can't believe how much internal structure there is straight from the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMCS Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Gloss primer on ready for the metal coat, black post shaded firewall completed and sealed with a matt coat. Had a bash at the seat aswell, more detail on the leather to be done yet, but pleased with how its gone so far. 24hr wait for everything to dry fully now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
