VT Red Sox Fan Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) All, here is my 1st Ready for Inspection blog--Johnny @The Spadgent got me thinking this would be a good idea. For the forum's consideration I offer up Airfix's Typhoon 1B/Fw-190 Dog Fight Double consisting of Stapleton's Typhoon Mk1B and Priller's Fw-190--almost all kit markings. Special thanks goes out to @G.R.Morrison & @Chris Thomas along with many others from the forum who provided research info on the subjects in the discussions linked below: I would be remiss not thanking @giemme, @The Spadgent, @billn53, @RidgeRunner & @opus999 You guys have been helping me improve for years! Thank you so much--for me you have turned 1/72 scale from outline builds to an art that is fun to build and look at. Tracking all of your awesome builds is both a treat and jaw dropping--I hope you see I am catching up😎. Here are the build links: And now on to the photos--Best to all, Erwin Edited May 24, 2021 by VT Red Sox Fan link 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Very nice! It’s hard to tell they are not 1/48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Two very nice models, totally agree with @billn53 that they could be 48th scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkerR. Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Well done, I like the Typhoon especially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Both beautiful models, Erwin The Typhoon to me has a slight edge over the FW👍 Still, you managed mottling in 1/72, and that's quite an accomplishment! Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
