    Finished as far as I know at this point in time!! My first model with no decals at all. A airfix 1/24 typhoon ‘car door’ model converted to a ‘teardrop’ o r’bubble’ canopy model.

    Oh yes!!! I need to add the prop manufacturer decals and paint the yellow safety tips on the props!

    I’m at that point where I think I’m done. I added brake lines and holders to the landing gear. Dirtied up the inside of the flaps. Added ignitor leads to the rockets. The next posts will be in the completed section!

    Rounding the corner, almost wrapped up another 1/24 scale aircraft. Most challenging airfix kit yet. Next up will be a kenetic 1/34 scale p-47 Thunderbolt bubble top. Never built a kenetic kit before and it looks kinda basic.

    Truly amazing build. Very inspiring

    Got the plane ID painted and prop blades touched up. Love the 1 man army masks

    Got the squadron band painted and I also repainted the spinner yet again. Next I’ll mask the plane number over the band. I’ve assembled the extra fuel tanks, rockets and launch rails. I’ll finish and paint those items and install them next

    Masked and painted the anti skid walkways and step today. Wetted and applied sugar to the walkway surface and sprayed dark gull grey. Wiped the sugar off after it dried. Happy with it. I assembled the underwing rocket launcher rails and rockets and I’ll paint them tomorrow. I’ll also install the bomb racks but not the bombs.

    Added a name last night for shits and giggles. Really liking the 1 man army masks

    For the blue I used Vallejo air #71.300 glossy sea blue(which is not glossy) white is Vallejo #70.929 cold white. Or just white #70.950 the red took some trial and error on my spitfire first. I ended up using mission models acrylic mmp-013 red oxide and of course the 1 man army 1/24 scale masks.

    Moving closer to the finish line. Finished painting the underwing roundels and side squadron letters. I also repainted the prop spinner medium blue for the squadron this aircraft is in instead of the dark red I had painted it. I need to paint the fuselage stripe and plane ID serial number next. I also have to paint and install the underwing rockets and maybe the two 44 gallon fuel tanks

    Starting on the bottom insignia’s. Painted the blue portions last night and sprayed the white this morning. Glad there’s only three colors! After spraying the red I’ll move on to the side squadron letters and numbers and stripe

    Top and side roundels are sprayed now to mask and spray the under wing roundels then on to the operation and warning stencils. here is a picture of the top light fixture I made

    Sprayed the white and yellow today after letting the blue and red dry. My first time spraying multi color masks after spraying the white of the hellcat only. I think they turned out well. I’ll need to touch up around the yellow
  24. Irishman1
    Pretty cool transformation!!
  25. Irishman1
    Started masking and painting the upper wing and fuselage roundels. A little difficult to lay the wing top masks down with the gun bay doors being loose but I think it’s going to turn out great
