Airfix Typhoon part 3 - A storm of activity

Well hardly.  The Typhoon has received several minutes of attention and is really beginning to look the part.  The spinner should be black, but I decided that was a bit dull and went for red.  Ooh, I’m such a rebel.

The next step will be to cobble together a set of markings using most of the set from the kit and a few bits from the decal box: http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/decal-box.html

    Calm down Sir, you're making a scene.

    Sorry - a momentary giddy lapse. Put it down to having been outside without being severely rained upon - for the first time in many days....

  3. Nice work Tim. Is that a tan colour you're using there? Just curious - why?

    Cheers,

    Nick

  4. A red spinner is forgivable. Painting e whole aircraft in a Hello Kitty color scheme would be out and out anarchic.

  5. Rock steady progress Tim. This is going to turn out a gem I think.

    Its getting there. I think this is the first time I've even painted anything like an accurate RAF camo pattern on a 1/72 scale model!

    I'm so sorry - it won't happen again. Probably.

  13. Excellent work... very realistic too... have you seen the camo on the Kittyhawk they've just discovered in the Egyptian desert 70 years after it went missing...
