PlaStix Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) ZY-Y - 247 Sqn. France, June 1944 This was part of my project for the D-Day GB. The kit is by Hasegawa but re-boxed by Italeri with new decals. There are some fit issues with the kit in a couple of places but other than those it was a fun build. As can be seen from the photos I decided, as it was going to be part of a small diorama, that I would have the prop motorised. The motor I used was from Airfix. I also used the PE set for this kit from Eduard. Kit: 1/48 Italeri/Hasegawa Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel and Railmatch Acrylics all applied by brush Extras: Eduard PE set, Airfix motor and Airfix pilot The WIP can be found: Here The diorama can be found: Here The Tiger 1 RFI can be found: Here Please excuse the blue colour of the support as these were taken before I knew how the final appearance needed to look. Before fitting to the base the blue was toned down a lot! With a sky background: One over the base Edited October 4, 2019 by PlaStix 68 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame him.........although it could just be he was the only 1/48 pilot I could find in the spares box! (but don't let on!)

Roman Schilhart Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I absolutely admire your brush-painting skills, the model looks like airbrushed, to my eyes. The Typhoon is a very mean looking aircraft, and you've done a great job! It's a pity that the decal letters are a bit on the bright side, making the "Y" hardly visible over white background. Best greetings from Vienna! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
