Typhoon Questions

[Bruce Archer]

Hi All!

    I acquired the Eduard "overtress" for the Bubble Top Typhoon. They are of course Hasegawa moldings. It came with a three blade prop, Typhoon tails and early rocket rails. I wish to do a late Typhoon with the 4-blade prop, Tempest tails, and either late rails or bomb racks. I have the tails, prop, bomb racks and late rails, but I need an aircraft to model. So....

 

    I need to know did Scale Aircraft Modeling, (SAM) or Monthly Aircraft Modeling (MAM) do an article explaining the prop and tails? Or I could use images of Typhoons with the 4-blade prop and Tempest Tails.

 

     Can someone help?

 

Thanks!!!!

MP197 MR-U 245 Squadron is a 4-blade big tail aircraft with late lightweight rails

There is also MR-Z, same configuration. could have been either SW560 or SW460

 

If you buy the decals they give you a link dow download detailed documentation including photos and a great deal of text support
