Made some progress on the engine but I have to say, it's a high cuss-factor undertaking! Threading and attaching those little silver lines is NOT easy! 🤪 I broke one of the RLM 02 supports 3 times! CA and Zip Kicker are a necessity here! I just hope the rest of the build isn't so "interesting". 🙄

Me too Carl!

Okay okay! I wanted to have a bit more done but since you INSIST!!!!! 🤪

😂

LOL Phil. I still have some work to do on the engine before I post a photo. Soon though.

🙄

Thanks Martin. We will see how it goes! 🤪

LOL What a coincidence! I have most of the engine assembled and painted. So far so good.

Thanks Carl. I agree, a 1/32 late model Typhoon would be nice and likely much better than the old Revell car-door kit.

I've decided to bite the bullet and start on this one. From what I've seen it promises to be a bit of a cuss-factor build but we will see! LOL 🙄 I intend to build it OOB with Hartmann's markings (I met him at a airshow in Alton, IL YEARS ago.)

Thanks Rob. I'm glad you like it.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Thank you Peter.

Thank you Chris.

Thanks Mike!!!

Thank you Gaz.

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19189-hasegawa-148-typhoon-done/

Chalk up another completed build. As is usual with Hasegawa the fit was very good with no real problems. This is essentially OOB except for replacement exhausts and a 4-blade prop (this particular kit had the 3-blade). Painted with a combination of Xtracolor, Testor's MM, and Colourcoats. Decals are from my decal stash. I hope you like it.

Good luck Carl!!!! One of these days it'll show up here. 🤪

LOL Ernie. It's a nice kit alright.

Thanks Peter.

Those sure are crude! Wouldn't look very good on the model. I'm fully aware those stripes varied considerably. You learn a lot when you've been modelling as long as I have (over 60 years).

Thanks Peter. The stripes do need some touch up but on the whole I think they came out okay. Probably a lot "neater" than the original!

More progress this morning. Upper surfaces camo is next. I'm glad this a/c didn't have invasion stripes on the uppers. Too friggin' tedious! LOL

Back to working on this one. Well along now.
