Steven, The Airfix Magazine for June 2014 had a Typhoon insert including a build review by one Steve Budd. He has those components set up the same way as the instructions and not as Brett Green does. However I found cutaways that show 'C35' in the position shown in Airfix's instructions. Here is one link to a cutaway of a Typhoon showing that part aside the rear tube and not behind it as built by the two modellers: https://thelexicans.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/hawkertyphoonibbymaxmil.jpg

A Sabre at Hendon, I think that is the component in question at the rear, in which case this backs up the Airfix instructions:

And just in case here is another cutaway showing that Airfix instructions are likely the most correct: http://www.valka.cz/galerie5/data/656/Typhoon.JPG
