Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib - 1/48 Hasegawa/Italeri - motorised prop

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!

...and the pilot has wound the seat right down in anticipation of some hefty ground fire ;)

Absolutely!! 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!)

Kind regards,

Stix

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!
