Azgaron Posted February 3, 2008 Author 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
LSP_Ray Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Looks good! BTW, Future works good as a glue for small items like this.
Azgaron Posted February 7, 2008 Author 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. Cheers, Azgaron
mgbooyv8 Posted February 17, 2008 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
Azgaron Posted February 17, 2008 Author 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
DaveJ Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Ah, home improvement.... A labor of love for certain. Good to hear you'll be back at the bench!
Azgaron Posted February 22, 2008 Author 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
Azgaron Posted February 23, 2008 Author 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. Cheers, Azgaron
Allok Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Very cool! I have a real soft spot for these old Revell kits and the Typhoon is one of the best. Marvelous job
perry Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Looking good so far! I have one of these, I was after one for ages...... I must build the beast sometime!
mgbooyv8 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 nice figure! It would be a shame if you don't use it Peter
Azgaron Posted February 23, 2008 Author Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks! It seems like I'm going to use the figure! Cheers, Azgaron
Texas Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 HI Looking Good. A very interresting build. Texas
