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

Pretty cool transformation!!

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

Late with a post on this subject but timely for me!!! I’m about to paint all the roundels on my 1/24 typhoon and this is just what I needed!! Thanks a ton for posting this process

You have to make the top removable!!! The fabrication and detail work is museum quality!!! Skill and artistry at work here.

Nice fabrication going on, what a challenge..

As I only build 1/24 aircraft I to have the airfix fw-190 and bf-109 from long ago hanging in my garage whilst I build the other newer and older releases!! great job on the 109’s!!

Absolutely stunning!!!

Great detail work again of course!!! Always inspiring to watch your progress. After my engine cover debacle with my typhoon I to will just concentrate on what you can peek at or plainly see from now on.. I have fun building and detailing engines and the hollow fuselage areas but I’m kinda feeling like it’s a waste of my limited time left on earth!!

Getting closer. Prepping for the 1 man army stencils. Roundels first, then walkways and labels .I did cut the clear car door side windshields off the door panels to use in place of my evergreen card stock fillers because the gaps are pretty large, not sure yet. I finished the head armor and made a identification light behind the pilot, just not sure if it was white tho. many more details to go, including the rockets and slide launchers

The pilots head panel and seat belts are not complete at this time. A little more fiddling with it is due.

More work completed. Finished filling in the door panels to make it a tear drop canopy model. Made the seat an open seat with a bullet proof panel. Taking care of some details as I go

Somehow I forgot to finish the green camo on the starboard wing and front side?!??! I noticed when I had it out to guide me on the Typhoon painting

Several of the pictures could be the real tank!!! Superbly done!!!

Funny, I just noticed the incomplete green cami on the inside, front starboard wing leading to the fuselage of the spitfire in front of the typhoon!! I’ll fix that today when I complete the green camo touch ups on the tiffy…. I think I was going to fill the gap at the front before applying the green there and just forgot to do anything !!!!

Ocean grey on and now the bottom, roundels and squadron I.d.’s

Have the primer on and the green cami done so now it’s on to apply the ocean grey

Beautiful project!!!

Made panels to fill the car door holes in the fuselage, cut panel lines and river holes. Sprayed the first coats of color on the primed body. I’ll mask the green and spray the sea grey. then on to mask and paint the roundels and squadron markings. This will be my first use of Sven’s 1man army stencil masks, I’ll have to make my own theater stripes

And the way the whole cylinder sleeve moves in and out to open the intakes and exhaust!!! Magic

The un- faired guns look ok-ish but maybe go to the full fairings too. I also need to make the bubble canopy seat back armor plate as well
