Fvdm Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Progress may be slow but it is certainly worth waiting for. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what you have used to create your cannon-ammunition and ammo-boxes -they look really impressive. Might the boxes be Eduard? Thx in advance.

Vynce804 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hi, the ammo boxes are the kit parts. Painted ak extreme metal aluminium. The raised detail is picked out with ak extreme metal dark aluminium followed by a dark brown wash and then oil shading in the top corner of each panel with a very small amount of sepia oil paint blended with a dry brush. Ammo is eduard and comes with the resin cannons I’m using. Painted ak extreme metal brass with a custom red brown mix for the tips and a dark brown strap. Then I applied quite a thick black wash to give extra depth. I was looking at the kit ammo and think you could get a similar result as it actually looks very good. Hope this info helps and thanks for the comment. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vynce804 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hi All, I hope everyone has had a brilliant Xmas. Over the holiday i found time to finish the construction of the Typhoon, Ive got to say bringing the major fuselage and wing components together was a major challenge and came together gradually as i stitched it together over several days using various forms of persuasion! All ready for paint now, but as you might notice in the last pic and maybe under the influence of too much mulled wine I've decided to briefly stop this build and start my car door typhoon! It seemed to make sense as i can use all of what i have learned with this one to hopefully make quick progress and will complete this one all closed up and have some plans for which markings to do which will hopefully contrast nicely with my bubble top! Thank you for all of the kind comments about my work, its a real pleasure to be involved with this forum. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2019!

dennismcc Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Looks good and I like the decision to start the car door, I tend to do the same once I get to the paint stage on one kit I start another. With two near identical kits it makes even more sense to use the knowledge gained while it is fresh Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great work Matt....I am trying to resist getting this kit to go with my Mosquito! You are doing a beautiful job, she looks every inch a Typhoon! Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vynce804 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Ok so ill run this thread as a dual work in progress for both of my Typhoons rather than have 2. So have managed to get a big chunk of the construction finished and managed to get some paint on the internal structure as well as started painting the instrument and side panels. Ive decided to add a pilot into the car door typhoons cockpit and have started modifying a resin pilot which is a major improvement over the one in the kit.

Uncarina Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Matt, Fast progress, and your Car Door and pilot look very promising! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
