1:72 Airfix Hawker Typhoon


Recommended Posts

Out of the box build.I did not add anything.The painting was done with tamiya acrylics.I should have painted the invasion stripes but I opted for the decals instead.It was a mistake beacuse I had great trouble applying them.It would have been much easier to paint them.

I wouldn't be able to tell that those stripes were decals!

 

I had difficulty with the decals too - I ended up with bubbles that wouldn't flatten out.  Even with the decal setting solution, I ended up with fine wrinkles all over.

Fantastic build!

I am not sure though, whether you are very brave or very foolish to try and apply such extensive decals on a fuselage!!!

But it paid off, as the stripes look pristine.

 

Congratulations!
