Sorry for the delay K2, life had other plans. Here Flickr album are some pictures of my build. Sadly Flickr doesn't allow direct linking. I'll try to source another hosting option. Some details I did are the wire between the junction box en the gun position wheels (?). I also added some evergreen wire at the towing bars to represent the welds. These were softened with Tamiya thin cement and then pressed down with a tool to get the welding look. Seeing your build, I will add some more details like the wire to the headlight and a better looking breach operating lever.

Building this one as well at the moment. Such a fun kit, though I expected some better details, especially in this scale. But, as you show, nothing that you can't add yourself.

I missed a few updates Jeroen, it's coming along with your usual attention to detail. Keep it up!

I can 😉. I've build the ZM Version. No rivets on the surface, just panel lines. You can check out my build here:

They could be from another planet as these pictures where made in storage unit with lots of other planes

Not totally absent but sanded flush with the surface. Pictures are from the surviving He219 before restoration.

Sure thing Ray. Thanks!

Thanks all for the kind words!

Build finished! RFI thread here: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/102455-hawker-typhoon-revell-special-hobby-mix-and-match/

+ some pictures without the base

Hi all, Finally finished my Typhoon frankenbuild. For those who didn't follow my WIP (link), it's the old Revell kit mixed up with components of the Special Hobby Tempest. Although not my best result, it was certainly a fun project. Last week I finally found time to take some pictures only to realize I mixed 😖 the left and right the inner wheel doors. Quick fix, but still a bit annoying. In the future I will build a little groundwork depicting the aircraft on a dusty Normandy airstrip. For now I reused a base from another build and a grey blanket as background. Not the best, but I didn't have anything else available. Kits: Revell Typhoon car door (fuselage, wings) and Special Hobby Tempest (cockpit, canopy, nose section, prop and stabilizer) Aftermarket: MDC wheels, guns and rockets Paint: Mr. Paint Special thanks for Max (Mozart) for providing the custom paint masks!

Nice! Are going to post a WIP here on LSP?

Simply lovely!

I actually only finished the build last weekend, but haven't had time yet to make some beauty shots. Maybe end of the week. I'll update this post when done! Cheers, Wouter

Slowly getting this thing to the finish line. With major construction completed, I've started with weathering. Being a D-Day machine I wanted to portray a well used and abused plane. I can imagine flying sortie after sortie on makeshift landing fields has it's toll on any vehicle. D-Day stripes are allready starting to fade a litlle and dust settles in every nook and crany it can get to. I started with the exhaust stain. Period pictures show that they where rather prominent on Typhoons. The stains are made of a diluted black/brown mixture, sprayed on with an airbrush. Next is a wash with AK's panel liner. This was done in small sections at a time. The right side is done, left is without the wash.
