Hawker Typhoon 1B


Recommended Posts

Nice start! 👍

 

this was my first kit (well, the "normal" hasegawa one) when coming back to the hobby a few years back.

 

Be sure to take care with the fuselage inserts......go on - ask me how I know ;)

More done today - first up added the inserts into the fuselage, added the PE, then closed up the fuselage, and rescribed a couple of the panel lines

Then added the wing and the resin tailplanes. Needed a little filling on the underside, and a couple of thin plastic shims, but doing it this way around is easier to work around than fitting the insets after joining the fuselage.

Today's painting.

First on with some marbling to break up the solid expanse of paint

Then on with the Medium Sea Grey, Ocean Grey and Dark Green, followed by a clear coat. Clear coat now is because there's a lot of masking to go on next for the ID band and the D-Day Stripes

Then unmasked - had a wierd one, where on the fuselage side had some of the paint lift, but not the topcoat, it was the primer lifting. Must have missed a spot when I wiped it with IPA before priming. Anyway repaired now.

It's all Tamiya Acrylics thinned with Mr Levelling Thinner for all of this.

 

HTH

I didn't know you could thin Tamiya with Mr Levelling Thinner, I've only ever used Tamiya thinners. What ratio do you mix at?

Nice work Peter. I use Tamiya acrylics as well and tend to use their Lacquer Thinner at 50/50 or, depending on the application, even more thinner, perhaps up to 70%. Sprays really nice.
