malky761 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 right ,not much to show,been banging my head against a wall with this one sprayed the intakes with vallejo acrylic white,first time using it and wasn't too impressed. it also showed up all the flaws in what i thought was a smooth sanding job,so it was out with the sanding sticks again,thankfully i seem to have cracked it now also i'm almost finished the pilot ,been working on the oxygen mask ,still a few wee bits to go on it but im happy with the overall shape,sorry for the lousy pictures ,but i'm using my phone for this intakes first the pilot well ,thats all for now folks mpk and Whitey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just a heads up that these are available again https://two-mikes-resin-accessories.myshopify.com/collections/32001-1-32 Mark M, mpk and malky761 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Nice job on the intakes! That kit is pretty rough. One thing I didnt do when I did the build is sand down the panel lines sine they are so trench-like (esp the ones on the fuselage). I really regret not going that extra mile.

Joel_W Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Malky, Nice start on the Eurofighter Typhoon. The intakes really do look quite good. I would have primed 1st to look for issues that need addressing before going with a White color coat. Still, it's the end results that count, and like I said, they do look good.

Joel joel i did prime the intakes,they looked super smooth,so i went ahead with the white,thats when i noticed all the flaws? the white showed up flaws that just didnt show with the primer coat? might have to start using white before the topcoats!

Now that's odd unless you're using A black or very dark primer,. Joel malky761 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
