discussion Airfix 1\24 Hawker Typhoon (second bite)

[peterairfix]

As my last one got left for to and parts have gone walkabout so it's time to start a new one and as I know what I am in for it shouldn't be that scary.
So here's the contents of the box.View attachment 324838View attachment 324839View attachment 324840View attachment 324841View attachment 324842View attachment 324843View attachment 324844View attachment 324845View attachment 324846View attachment 324847

Peter,
That should keep you out of mischief for a while. I will pull up a chair and follow along.

Hi Peter
That is a lot of plastic. As Scottie says it will keep you busy for quite a while.

Looking good Peter. I’ve been building one of these on and off for the past year or so. It was all going well until I came to fit the engine cowlings. Gaps galore. Hopefully I will finish it soon.Look forward to seeing yours come together.

Everything lines up really well if you take your time with it. The only bad fitting parts are the upper engine cowlings.Not a problem if you want the engine on display

Thanks Dave, be good to follow Peters progress and indeed look at the engine cowling :thinking:. Just wonder why everything lines up but an issue with the cowling.

I thought it was something I had done wrong. But even Barry W had problems with his

Now it's time for the engine I have installed it and started to put all the bits and pieces around it as I intend to have it with engine covers off.View attachment 326212View attachment 326213

Hi Peter
Looks great so far. Love the detail on these larger scale planes. Glad everything is lined up OK as some of the early photos looked rather awkward to get all nice and square.
