That look,s the business fella, really good job on the paint work in such a small scale. I have seen nothing but good review,s about this kit but don,t really do much 72nd stuff. Like the open gun bay,s really add,s interest, nice.

Looks very cool! The opened gun bays are awesome in particular. I remember too well how bad the Heller Typhoon was (i think it was a reboxed old Airfix Typhoon) it is nice to see this kit with new tooling in such a great quality

Used a fine wash of panes grey oil paint diluted 50/50 with turps and dabbed with a small brush into the panel lines and let the fluid flow, waited until almost dry and brushed away with a cotton bud
Quite pleased, if you get a chance look at Scale Model World magazine this month as one was done for that and really looks fantastic, in addition the fella who maid that one held a airbrush course that I attended last year and he gave a load of great hints and tips, a real artist

Thank Jay..

Superb finish on the Typhoon...have just acquired a 1/72 airfix kit of the same (I think old tooling as they don't have removable gun bays)...

Thanks for Sharing,
