The Kittyhawk is a late 70's Hasegawa kit.  The spinner was missing so I used one from my parts box which being of a smaller diameter required the nose to be extended slightly.  Kit exhausts were soft lumps moulded to the fuselage so I used Revell Lancaster items.
Paint is Vallejo acrylic.  Decals are aftermarket.

The Typhoon is the latest Airfix kit built OOB.
Paint is Vallejo acrylic.  Decals are the kit ones.  Sharks mouth is hand painted.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I'm impressed by the hand painted shark's mouth  :bow:

I like the Airfix Typhoon, problem is I built about 6 of the Academy ones in Wif schemes so not got many other ideas for the two Airfix ones in the stash. Mind you RNZAF might do, I did an RAAF one but don't think Kiwi. Need to check
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
