jarkmodels Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Hi, I Just finished this great kit from Hasegawa. Excellent fit, good detail, fantastic selection of weapon configurations etc. I just added the rivets and did some subtle weathering using oil paints.

SAT69 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Unlike most companies, Hasegawa got the front end of the canopy framing and the rear of the windscreen framing correct. Revell's front end is too thick (broad?) and the rear windscreen framing is too thin (narrow?). Now if Hasegawa would just upscale this to 1/48 and introduce a two-seater version, I for one would be most happy. Your model looks wonderful and I'm very glad to hear about the excellent fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Superb quality work on that Hasegawa kit. A few extra rivets make all the difference & the paint work is spot on for the scale. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarkmodels Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thank you all for looking and for the nice comments! 7 hours ago, Properjob56 said: ...and with the right number of underwing pylons (says somebody who's grumpy that he bought the Revell version rather than this ) The Kit is really complete with 5 different weapon configurations, close air support (CAS), suppression of enemy defence (SEAD), air superiority, multirole/swingrole RAF and multirole/swingrole Luftwafe (this is the one I've choose) Perhaps the only minor issue is that when using the Taurus KPED350 (the green long range cruiser missile) the doors of the landing gear are VERY tight and don't seem to fit correctly. Everything else is in my opinion really good! 6 hours ago, Jackman said: That looks amazing! The rivets really add life to this already excellent kit. Thank you. Since I started riveting my models (not so long ago) I simply can't stop adding them. In my opinion they look great and is surprisingly not so difficult or time consuming. 5 hours ago, Electric Indigo said: Excellent finish – the weathering is spot on! 1 hour ago, Vultures1 said: Very nice indeed! Great finish and weathering - well done Thank you Electric Indigo and Vultures1 !. This one was a tricky one. 😉 I love weathering all my models but the German Thyphoons are really clean! So I try to be more subtle and I got to say the photos looks a bit more dirty than the actual model when looking at normal distance ( remember is 1/72 scale...) I mostly did some panel colour variations and some minor stains. 1 hour ago, Troffa said: Epic Typhoon- the finish is superb! Inspirational modelling- thanks for sharing! Thank you very much.

I have an old Revel two seater waiting to be build too. It seems there are some fitting issues with the Revel though, in particular with the air intakes.... cheers, and again thank you all for commenting 👍 Jorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxzinbox Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That's a beauty! The weathering is so subtle, yet convincingly portrays a well used and well maintained aircraft. The bare metal is noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 What wonderful paint work and extra surface detail, lovely Typhoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Excellent! What I would call a "magazine-worthy" model! Must admit, I've asked myself many times if I should invest in a rivet wheel (or whatever they're called) but always chickened out. May have to change my mind.
