I think this feeling remains with you regardless of your level of workmanship. Your approach is the same as mine: try to do the best you can. However, don't push too hard otherwise it will take away your enjoyment of the hobby!

I do quick builds at the same time as a major project like this Typhoon. These help me have fun and I don't care too much about how well they turn out.

This years' Telford was the first time in many a year that I have entered a model into competition. I used to do it regularly. I do encourage you - and others - to give it a try. It gives you that little extra motivation and a boost when your entry gets placed!

 

Thank you and all for your very kind comments on the model and I wish you many happy hours at the workbench in 2023,

Pat

Pat,  thanks for your kind words....the last Typhoon I built was the Revell 1/32 "Car Door" version, that was a trial! I started it in 1973 and  finished in in 2018, I think. There is a build story here, somewhere.

The 1/24th bubble hood is, other than cast brass U'C legs and photo etch seat belts is out of the box. It is getting there and I'll be starting the transfers later this week. I'm also finishing the 1/32 nd Eurofighter Typhoon, finished to commemorate Flt Lt Nicholson's epic battle over Dorset in which he won the VC. He took off from Boscombe Down, which is local to me. Very much a Typhoon Christmas!
