hi all!

 

well here goes,my first w.i.p here ,please be gentle :)

 

right ,i started this some time ago,with the intention of it being a quick build(aren't they all?)

 

first thing i wanted to do was put in full lenght air intakes,well three months ,some plumbers piping,putty and more sanding and polishing than a scottish curling team ,i was left with passable intakesDSC_0191_zpscjfekpcx.jpgDSC_0190_zpsfgtwvjgu.jpg

thanks guys

 

been sanding those intakes for the past month :mental: ,finally got them smooth enought for my liking,best part is,you won't be able to see most of it :doh: still ,i will get a coat of paint on this weekend and maybe even get the wings on!  concentrating on the pilot figure at the moment just got an oxygen mask and a left arm and hand to finish him off :piliot:

right ,not much to show,been banging my head against a wall with this onedefault_wall.gif

sprayed the intakes with vallejo acrylic white,first time using it and wasn't too impressed. it also showed up all the flaws in what i thought was a smooth sanding job,so it was out with the sanding sticks againdefault_suicide.gif,thankfully i seem to have cracked it now default_mental.gif also i'm almost finished the pilot ,been working on the oxygen mask ,still a few wee bits to go on it but im happy with the overall shape,sorry for the lousy pictures ,but i'm using my phone for this

Nice job on the intakes!

 

That kit is pretty rough. One thing I didnt do when I did the build is sand down the panel lines sine they are so trench-like (esp the ones on the fuselage). I really regret not going that extra mile.

 

Cheers,

Marcel

Just a heads up that these are available again  https://two-mikes-resin-accessories.myshopify.com/collections/32001-1-32

thanks mate ,but after spending all that time sanding,filling and painting those intakes,there is no way im not showing them off!!

 

and besides ,im going for an in flight/wheels retracting pose,so intake covers are out,as are the pylons,display aircraft tend not to

 

carry them

 

the only resin im using is the aries burner cans,which are stunning!

Malky,

  Nice start on the Eurofighter Typhoon. The intakes really do look quite good. I would have primed 1st to look for issues that need addressing before going with a White color coat.  Still, it's the end results that count, and like I said, they do look good.

   i did prime the intakes,they looked super smooth,so i went ahead with the white,thats when i noticed all the flaws?

 

the white showed up flaws that just didnt show with the primer coat?

 

might have to start using white before the topcoats!

Now that's odd unless you're using A black or very dark primer,.
