1/48 Hawker Siddeley Typhoon F.1 - FINISHED!

[Devilfish]

As promised, when i built my 1/72 HS Typhoon, I am now building a bigger and better one in 1/48.

Original post... http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,34618.0/highlight,hs+typhoon.html

Changes/improvements I wanted to make are, more detailed airbrakes, rounded, rather than square intakes (more P.1121 like), Pen knib exhaust fairing, rounded wing/canard tips, better canopy area.

Heres where I am at so far.

New analog instrument panel


Hunter top fuselage top to be grafted on


New rear airbrake housings.


And new wing tips are fitted


Fin and spine


Pen knib taking shape


New intake almost done


Nose extension

The round air intake suits the Tiffy well!

Nice work so far ! Looks big and bad !

The round air intake suits the Tiffy well! 

Considerably more than the real one does!

[Devilfish]

Just a quick update. Final shape is, er, well, taking shape.....

[McColm]

I look forward to the finish build.

First coat of LAG is on....

[Captain Canada]

And that final shape is very shapely !

And some DSG to the top

Quick update.  I've got it in gloss laquer now, ready for decalling.  On choosing the sqn, I realised I had nothing suitable, so I decided to spray them on myself....

Firstly masked, then the white base is sprayed on...



Followed by the red...



to be finished off hopefully later on...

Oh that's almost too tasty to wait for ! Enough talk ! Get back to work !

[KiwiZac]

This is gorgeous! I can't wait to see more!

[Devilfish]

I finished off the sqn markings.



Then applied a wash where I still could
It needs a bit of tidying up still....

This is wonderfully beautiful and awesome!
