Airfix Hawker Typhoon Ib 1/72 + Base

[elscorpio]

It´s another Airfix Hawker Typhoon Ib...i know a lot of people have done this subject, probably because its such a good model ! A great work from airfix on this one...

I ´ve build this in a GB comemorating the 70 years of DDay, and i finish it last week...i just wanted to put the photos here also !

It was my first model using the airbrush...and what a diference...so much more you can do...


First the small base:

Used a cheap picture frame and used some powders and acessories...then i "invented" a fire extiguisher







Here is the Typhoon alone:







Final :














I painted the DDay stips on the pic frame for "dramatic" effect...

I loved doing this comemorative model, a very small tribute, for such an important day...

Very clean and detailed work for such a small kit! Nicely done!

lovely Typhoon!

Do the gun bays come with the option to display them open? ... or did you use AM sets for that?
Looks great!

Gun bays open its an option on this model...The plane it s OOB.

I m not very keen on extra sets and PE...i do 1/72 and in this scale the PE its microscope stuff...so ,if it comes in the model great (Eduards profipacks, and some AModel short runs) otherwise, i just think it doesn t worth the price...scratch build i m all for it!

Great job on a smaller scale aircraft! My eyes struggle with some 1/48 scale details, so I never go smaller!
