cjhm Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 This is the 2019 boxing of the lovely 1/72 kit from Airfix which includes the appropriate June 1944 markings seen here. I built this for a Twitter based Group Build, #DDAYGB which has just finished. Put together OOB, paint is all by brush, Lifecolor acrylics for the camouflage and then details using Lifecolor\Citadel\Vallejo. Glossed with Vallejo before the decals and a final few coats of Mig Ammo matt to finish with Vallejo light\dark grey washes to add a lightly used look. Hope you enjoy More pics here: http://blog.cjhm.net/2019/06/08/1-72-airfix-hawker-typhoon-d-day-1944/ Work in progress pics here: https://twitter.com/search?q=cjhm airfix typhoon&src=typd See stuff the other members of our group did: https://twitter.com/search?q=ddaygb;src=typd Excellent video from our ‘leader’ here: 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I had to double-check and confirm it's 1/72; it looks so nice that I thought it was the 1/24th scale kit at first! Your skill with the paint brush is outstanding. Superbly done overall. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
