Hawker Siddeley Typhoon T2

That looks remarkably like the business end of a double barrelled shotgun! 

One improved cylinder barrel and one choked!

Not exactly the intention, but I see what you mean

A bit more progress work while I am not feeling confident about my P.1121 build.

First off I sorted out the edges of the underside panels that are in place at the moment



The resultant gap will be the well for the arresting hook just like on the Jaguar for airfield equipment rather than naval use, though I am not going to rule that out.

The following picture shows the small G clamp I have holding the edge of the panel in place so that it conforms to the curvature of the engine space



The result being this



And with both panels



Next step is to box in the hook trough and to PSR the rest of the gaps in the fuselage which I am not looking forward to doing.

With those gaps, you'll be better of with P38 car body filler.  It'll cure far, far faster than milliput, sand to a glasslike smoothness and if you time it right when it's curing, you'll be able to cut it like cottage cheese.

Some of those gaps are to be dealt with by using plastic card, the one in the lower fuselage (Top side in the picture as the fuselage is upside down) is to be used to house a hook. The gap between the exhausts and the base of where the tail is has not been decided yet but will probably involve a blanking plate if I done make something protrude from the current hole. I basically only have a rough idea in my head of where I am going with this Lee, at least in outline, the details will come as I continue with the build.

Had another look at doing the tail fin for this build. I am now thinking of copying the fin from the P.1121 although I might reduce the hight a little, might not. Will try it out using paper first before plastic is cut. Will use an old Hasegawa F-111 tail fin I have spare cut to size and shape when the time comes.
