Valhalla Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) More Tiger Moths, you're brave Andy 🙂 Ian Edited September 3 by Valhalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcat_Ern Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Sometimes you have to face your fears head on! Besides, couldn't leave it in the stash to haunt me for years to come. The 1/48 Moth is a dream to put together though. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 So back on the workbench now is this wee beastie. Just recently retrieved in from the top shelf, as you can probably tell from all the dust. I started this a number of years ago (along with a host of other projects) and put this away as I wasn't that confident about painting the red and white stripes down the side. So this is, and hopefully will be, a Hurricane 1, P3675, of 601 Sqn flown by S/Ldr Michael Robinson back in 1940 (once cleaned up 🙂 ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A J Rimmer Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 I've started working on a little 1/72 Typhoon - I've got the cockpit bits and bobs painted ready for assembly and the pilot painted (he looks a lot better in the flesh so to speak rather than blown up on screen. I'll post a proper thread up when I have some more progress. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 That Typhoon is a favorite kit of mine. Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Nice bit of detail in there for a 1/72 kit Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modeling maniac Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I've done one typhoon and there is another in my stash. But I have to agree they are good kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A J Rimmer Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 I agree, it does seem a nice kit - although I've not built one before. I have this one and the other that comes in the Club kit boxing. I've made some further progress and got the main parts together and added some filler to the seams. I found the fit of the wings a bit tight, but that's the price we pay for the gun bay detail I suppose. I might well open that up on my next one - it's a nice feature. Annoyingly I forgot to fit the pilot before I closed up the fuselage - he's a bit too big to go in now. I'll stick him in the spares box.

Dominic Thomas Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 It’s great to follow someone building a kit I haven’t made, and this is no exception. It’s a pity it’s not in a post of its own where it might be easier to find it in future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A J Rimmer Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Started painting the Typhoon and a Starter Set Spitfire mk.Vc. which I knocked up in about an hour or so over the weekend. First coat of Hataka Ocean Grey is on. Edited 22 hours ago by A J Rimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit has markings for Wing Commander J E Johnson DSO** DFC*. But I wanted to make a desert version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
