Old tool Airfix 1/72 Airfix Hawker Typhoon

Fleet Air Arm What if.

Following the end of the Second World War and the expiration of lend lease the Fleet Air Arm found itself short of effective fighters when Hawker announced a lengthy delay to the delivery of the Sea Fury. The Seafire was more than capable as a fighter/interceptor but a dedicated ground attack aircraft was required. However, along with the delay of the Sea Fury, Hawker offered a navlised version of the Typhoon to help fill the gap. Similar to the Sea Hurricane it featured a strengthened rear fuselage and a arrestor hook was added. It's long nose was initially thought to be a problem but for a generation of pilots raised on Corsairs and Seafires the actual issues were minimal. It was not a particularly suitable carrier aircraft and many pilots missed their dedicated naval aircraft. Its greatest failing was a lack of folding wings, a feature Hawker was not able to institute and the Navy decided it could live without in what was essentially a stop gap. Because of this, it was difficult to get the aircraft into carrier hangers and they often were left on deck for extended periods with a tarpaulin cover for the cockpit.

Decals from the spares box and scratch built arrestor hook. Tarpaulin and rope are stolen and painted felt and wool from the good lady wife.

Great group build guys. Thanks.
