JamesHatch Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi gang, Sorry I've been pretty quiet recently, but Airfix asked me to build one of the Typhoon Ãœber kits for display on their stand at Scale Model World, Telford. This kit is magnificent, but no 2 week project. I rushed this one to get it built in time, and it still took 7 weeks, which is is only a couple of weeks short of what it would take me to do two magazine projects. Airfix have commissioned four modellers to build the four schemes available in the kit. Everything here is OOB (through necessity) except for Airscale cockpit decals and masks which were used for the tail chequer band. I found the kit decal colours to be muddy and wrong. I still need to add fuses to the rockets and also more weathering to the wheels, but it's almost there. I'm not going to beat myself up over a rush build, and I know I could have improved many areas. Hope you like it. J.J., Jolly Roger, Zero77 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's turned out fantastically well Jim! Your rush jobs are better than my...anything. Will Airfix allow me to publish it on the website? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Hi Kev, It's not being published in any magazine, maybe apart from photos from their Airfix stand, so feel free! Airfix are keeping this one, so it'll be good to have it saved for posterity. Edited October 30, 2014 by JamesHatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wonderful Typhoon, James! It's amazing to think of what it would be if it wasn't a "rushed" build! Very striking scheme, too! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
