Having just completed the Spitfire in this box set I thought I’d build the Typhoon. Going to add some goodies to this on though.

Great choice Ian, looking forward to it, have fun
Going to town on this Ian , that engine will be a real eye catcher
You're going all out on this one Ian, looking forward to the build
I’m pulling up a chair to follow along Ian, those goodies should really make it pop

Geoff.
That is quite a collection of goodies there. This will looks amazing with all that detail.
Thanks guys.
We’ll I’ve made a start on this one, got to cut some bits off before painting, done that, so all ready for some paint.

Those extras look very impressive Ian. Should turn out nice.
Got the cockpit and engine painted, still needs some more work, weathering and the like.
Engine is looking fantastic Ian ! You wouldnt think it was a single casting , brilliant detail
Lovely work on the engine Ian 
Thanks guysLovely work on the engine Ian
Ok got the cockpit and engine painted, weathered and fitted.
I still need to fit the exhaust pipes, but with them being so small, I’ll fit them near the end of the build when I don’t need to handle it so much.

Very nice Ian. How are you going to display this one. Shame to cover that lovely engine.
Thanks Steve, I’m thinking of a little airfield diorama with some ground crew working on it.
Time to move onto the wings and gun bays.
Nice work Ian
Surgery like this is not for the faint hearted. Cracking job Ian.
Thanks Steve.
I’ve got the gun bays fitted and the wings put on. Needs a little filler. So I’ve took the engine out for safe keeping, I will add it near the end of the build.
My thoughts exactly! Taking a big chunk out of the wings is a bold move. Back when I started, if a model went wrong, it got ‘repurposed’ as a crashed aircraft! I had a lot of crashes
