Coming on really nicely Andrew.

That is looking very nice indeed. You've done Airfix and the 'true scale' proud.

Andy,
All looking very nice indeed. I trust you are feeling better.

Very nice work Andrew ?

Typhoon is looking very good Andrew ?

Thanks chaps for the support! And glad you like it. Another update will follow shortly there....of the 'nearly there' kind!?


scottie3158 - Doing ok mate. Thanks for asking. Still not completely of it after two and a half weeks but feeling a lot better in myself.

Thanks again chaps.

Afternoon chaps!!

Sorry for not being around much but the weekends is the only time I can seem to get on and then not even that much!

So more progress this week, with some light weathering (Flory Washes) and exhaust stains (a mixture of Vallejo game washes - black, light grey and umber).....and yesterday I managed to stick on all the sub assemblies, as you can see below. In fact I have just finished applying the final clear coat and am waiting for it to dry!

Oh and as you'll also see below, I will need a new sheet of lining paper for my spray booth!

ACW as usual.

Time for a change of lining paper, me thinks.....

Looking good mate.

Ok chaps....so a quick preview!

It is now finished and as you can see it's a marked improvement on the first attempt.

More pics to follow at the weekend, when I can take some decent shots!

ACW as usual

Wonderful Andrew. Isn't it amazing how modelling skills develop over time. You should very proud of the new Typhoon. Will watch for the completed thread.

Joe - You're right about the progress, it's why I have (so far) never thrown an old kit away!

Sottie - Thanks but I think....with the greatest of respect....you might need to speak to your optician ?....the original Tiffy is really not that good but then it was 7 years ago and the first wingy thing i had built since coming back to the hobby! OH and I didn't have an AB at the time!


Thanks again chaps!

Very nice Andrew. Bit of a thug aircraft the Tiff ?
