LSP_Kevin Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Nice work, K2! I have the Hasegawa bubbletop kit in the stash, but also the Monogram kit with the KMC update set. Been meaning to drag that one out of the stash for years and get started on it. Kev LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 As is typical for me, I've went ahead and drawn up the prop templates for this effort. I've gone ahead and added the phantomed in inner prop blur area as well (something unique for me), so that I can spray a central, darker pattern, with the outer edges (very dark gray and yellow) being softer, creating, I hope, a more realistic spinning prop, using better control.

Been meaning to drag that one out of the stash for years and get started on it. Kev Well, you know me, Kev, I have sort of a "thing" for the Typhoon. A few nights ago I was watching a documentary on the tube, and there was a nice segment of Typhoons swooping in for a rocket attack, and that's all it took. The Monogram kit is perfect for a ceiling hanger, but for my display models, I really prefer the Hasegawa kits, and will eventually do several variations.

LSP_K2 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks, Greg. Unfortunately, many were lost during the move, or are incomplete, so with few exceptions, I've had to start all over again. This Typhoon may well be the first to hang in my new environment.

LSP_K2 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Fuselage cleaned up pretty well, with stabs and wings now attached. It shouldn't be long now,... mywifehatesmodels, mustang1989, Girlscanplay2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks, Brian. Well, bombs get some color. These colors are not correct, but it's what I had, so good enough. Much to my horror, last night I discovered that five complete boxes of old Aeromaster warbird enamels are gone, apparently lost in my move last year. Probably a good 60% of those colors were for British types like this Typhoon. I can't begin to convey how utterly frustrating that is.

I've been really wanting to get a ceiling queen finished for some time now (ever since I moved in here), and this seemed a perfect candidate.

LSP_K2 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm a hap, hap, happy guy tonight! While searching for something else, I discovered 14 brand new bottles of Aeromaster paint I'd thought to be forever lost. A little German, a little Japanese, a little RAF. I now have both grays to paint my Typhoon, and will use Model Master (or Tamiya) for the green. Boy, this makes me happy. coogrfan, Bill_S, Out2gtcha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like walking along, casually looking down at the ground and finding a $5 bill!

andromeda673 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 that's a good win right there, I'm the king of not checking my paint numbers, I write down what I think I need, go to the hobby store curse and swear when they don't have it, only to come home, grab the bottles and look. and then to see that I not only have the paint I needed, but multiples of it.

(or maybe even a $20 in this case) While I haven't actually looked for any for a while, I suspect these are very hard to find now, sort of like the old Floquil military colors (which I still have a few pristine bottles of). that's a good win right there, I'm the king of not checking my paint numbers, I write down what I think I need, go to the hobby store curse and swear when they don't have it, only to come home, grab the bottles and look. and then to see that I not only have the paint I needed, but multiples of it. Story of my life!!!!!! Oh yes, I went on a hunt for good old flat black at the LHS one time, only to find about six brand new bottles already "hiding" in my dungeon.
