richter111 91 Posted February 2, 2008 I love those old revell kits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,340 Posted February 3, 2008 Me too! Here's what I'm been up to! I'll just figure how I'd get them fastened without messing with the decal too much! A clear cote perhaps. After this is done I think I'll end the scratch building on this one. Cheers, Azgaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Ray 6,776 Posted February 6, 2008 Looks good! BTW, Future works good as a glue for small items like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,340 Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks Ray! Yes, I guess it does. I used somewhat thinned out white glue, and that seemed to have worked nicely. I have a few more rings to do, then I'm done, but we have been doing some home improvements so my workspace is occupied. As soon as I'm done with the IP I'll close the fuselage.

mgbooyv8 639 Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Azgaron, So far so good with your Typhoon. I have one as well in the stash. The fuselage has a nasty mould line around the cockpit (I hope yours has not). I suppose Revell planned a bubble top Typhoon as well. Maybe sanding down the rivets a bit and carefully scrape away the mould line will improve appearances. The latter will be camouflaged by the rivets. Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,340 Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Peter! I just checked, but I couldn't find any mouldline on mine. Hope you can manage to fix yours nicely! Finally got the kitchen cleared out of junk, so now I'll can get back to modelling Cheers, Azgaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveJ 36 Posted February 22, 2008 Ah, home improvement.... A labor of love for certain. Good to hear you'll be back at the bench! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,340 Posted February 22, 2008 Yes it is, but I prefer when it doen't take longer than expected! New progress pics coming soon! Cheers, Azgaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azgaron 1,340 Posted February 23, 2008 Now I got things going again! I still need to do some minor work on the IP, so meanwhile I've been painting the pilot! I'm not sure if I'm going to use it, and I'm not sure how it should look, but it is fun painting! The pilot figure is really ugly, and the hands look like the artist have been looking to much on Donald Duck, and in the last minute remembered that humans have five fingers! I also put together the engine parts and test fitted it in the fuselage! I need to do some more painting before it goes where it belongs.
