Time for something big,Airfix 1\24 Typhoon

[stona]

Its a good kit OOB.....   On this scale the only thing I would suggest is to paint the markings using a paint mask set instead of decals.  You can really tell the difference.

I agree, you really can tell the difference in larger scales. I have used masks from Maketar on various projects since Mal's Masks is winding up operations. They are very good and there is a big set available for 1/24 Typhoons. The only issue is the price, particularly as the kit will very likely contain perfectly good decals, but if any after market enhancement is worth it at this scale masks like these (there maybe others available) would be the one I'd go for.

These 1/24 Spitfire float plane masks were from Mal, but the principle is the same.

This will the last update for a bit as I want to take my time on this one.


The cockpit assembly is now finished. A bit of a fiddly affair but worth the trouble

Very nice kit!

[peterairfix]

I had a whole day free yesterday so I did nothing but kit bashing.


And as I will have all panels off i will also have the engine on show.


And here's the result of yesterday's work.


And everything seems to be going well at the moment with no problems to report

This looks like it's coming along very nicely. I've just noticed this thread but I'll stick around and watch this come together
