Graham77 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Here are the sprue shots of the Airfix Typhoon with a little primer on. More to follow in the next few days as I get started on my first build of the year. Currently looking at doing the box art decals but still considering the others, watch this space. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Good subject choice Graham and a nice kit of it from what I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 It is a lovely kit for its size, I’ve built one already and this time I think I’m going to open the hatches up on the wing to show the armament off behind the cannons. It’s a nice little detail on a kit of this scale. I think I’m going with the red nose and invasion stripes with a full load of rockets…I know it carried the bombs but it looks the part with the rockets! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Rockets are cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted March 4, 2022 Author Share Posted March 4, 2022 Long time since I last posted so here is the progress and then it all got joined together and the wings added Once all the pegs had gone it was starting to take shape and then the canopy and some black primer was added Then I started building a 1/48 Spitfire with the identical colour scheme (may as well spray the colours at the same time) hence the delay in progress with this. Hopefully in the next update it’ll be in full colours and some gloss ready to start decalling(this appears to be a made up word but sure you’ll all know what I mean) with its partner in crime. Thanks for looking! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 This one is taking shape rapidly Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham77 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Another burst of modelling time and a couple of steps closer. The Typhoon now has a big sister in the same colours progressing in tandem for another project and they are finally out the spray booth and being glossed ready for decals!! Hopefully the next update will be a little sooner and have the Typhoon in all its “decalled” glory. Thanks for looking! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings unlevel Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Wow, shows how big the Typhoon is when in 1/72 scale it's barely smaller than a 1/48 Spitfire! Both looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the next picture I’ll put the two props next to each other, the sabre engine in the Typhoon drove a massive propeller! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Nice work Graham and well done finding a photo of your mixed loadout - although even if you hadn't this is still your model to equip how you wish Which GB are you heading for next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham77 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Check out www.hawkertyphoon.com the photo is the one on the main page. I have a Chinook for the matchbox, a SHAR for the falklands and one of 3 old airliners for the big and British. I’m going to pick the quickest and keep the finishing momentum going! 😂 atb Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
