Roger Newsome Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hasegawa 1/48th Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b "car door" type. Armed with practice bombs as in the quite well known photo of this particular aircraft, "Dirty Dora". Painted with Mr. Hobby and Tamiya acrylic. Trying to get decent photo's proved to be a bit of a nightmare so apologies in advance for that. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_RAFBC Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Very nice, interesting to see the individual aircraft letter on the wing leading edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much. To tell the truth I was in two minds whether to use the leading edge "N" decal or not. I found more photo's without than with and it isn't clearly visible on the photo of the real EK139. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primed with Mr Finishing Surfacer Black 1500. Underneath, Tamiya XF-83 Medium Sea Grey Uppersurfaces, Tamiya XF-82 Ocean Grey & XF-81 Dark Green. Highlights were done by adding a touch of Mr Hobby H311 Grey to the base colour. Additional shading was done with Tamiya X-19 Smoke. 5 minutes ago, Vinnie said: Very nice, Roger. Well done.

dogsbody Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 That's a beauty, Roger. No doubt that you've seen this photo. It's the only colour one that I've ever seen of this Tiffy. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Roger, that's another homerun for you! A very tidy en sharp looking Tiffy. I like the fact that you painted the front fairings of the cannons slightly lighter, it matches the photo perfectly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Another stunning looking Tiffy there Roger. My 2p's worth, I think it needs to be a little more matt... Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 @russ c, @RMCS, @dogsbody,yes, that's where I got the idea to equip mine with practice bombs. @salmo G, @stevej60, @stevehnz, @Christer A, @Courageous, I was actually thinking it could do with being a little more matt myself but bottled out of spraying another coat on as I didn't want to get it on the transparent parts. Thank you all very much, your kind comments are very much appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work! Thanks very much. The next one I do, the bubble canopy, I'll try and replicate a dusty appearance that's described in a lot of the accounts of Typhoon sqns. operating from airfields in Normandy.... well, that's the plan at the moment anyway. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
