This is my 2nd Hobby Boss typhoon.

The Decals which were excellent are from the boomerang sheet done by Red Roo decals and the girly nose art is from the starship modeller cheescake sheet I bought a couple of years back.

I decided to give it a real beaten up look using pastels and washes.

This was a little break for me from the mammoth job in building the republic cruiser. Which is still going. I will probably post some pics sometime soon.

Get this Cheese to sick bay!

Nicely done.   :thumbsup:   The finish looks really good.  Just enough weathering to be realistic.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Sisko,  She's a real beauty, Your weathering looks great!   :wub:   

I love this kit, goes together quick and easy and still looks great. I think I might pick up another also. I like the Hobbyboss kits for quick "I need a break" builds. Also perfect for 1 week group builds.

Very nicely done Stuart, certainly looks like a 'should have' instead of a 'what if'.

Sweet! Nice weathering too!

Cheers fellas.

The hobbyboss kits are certainly fun. With not much effort they can be made to look really good. :thumbsup:

Wow.......is that ever nice ! At first I thought you meant a new Typhoon, and was pleasantly surprised to see a WWII example. Love the weathering, and the white tail really makes her stand out. Great job all around !
