Beautifully done

Great subject and exceptional attention to detail!!!

ADVICE NEEDED!!!: ok, I’m at the point where you start cutting the fuselage out to fit the car door pieces. I do have a nice aftermarket teardrop canopy for it though. I kinda like the look of the teardrop better than the car door mark. What do you guys think? Car door or tear drop? and I also did one set of cannon covers open with the master brass cannons, I can still go either way, covered or uncovered

Starting to detail the gun bays, I’ve seen the ammo motors on top of the cannons many different colors in pictures so I guess I can just pick which I like. I’ve seen all silver, all interior green, black with green seams or silver with green seams. Hmmmm, I’m going to try a couple different styles and see what I like best. and damn, I missed filling a injection pin mark in the gun bay.

And it was easier to add wiring to the back of the gauges!!

I just think the kit panel seemed more 3 dimensional, more depth I guess. It has a heaviness that suits the typhoon more.

My 1 msn army stencils got the typhoon showed up today. Going to be fun to paint this bird!

Awesome!!! Camouflage masks too! I wish I had this 1 week ago when I made my own for the spitfire, they don’t have the camouflage one for the typhoon yet but maybe the spit will kinda work.

Installed the lower wing snd supports and spars, stock guns, I do have Eduardo brass in guns and máster uncovered barrels

Removed the air scale IP for the stock IP and installed it with the wiring connected to the back. Cut a square of evergreen sheet and added wiring from side panel instruments (need to do the starboard side yet)

Following your builds is always a pleasure, very informative and such attention to detail. They show a builder like me how to do so much, thanks!!

Looking great! I’ll be following

A little more progress on the typhoon. Started building the engine. Painted and assembled and now to add details and some weathering.

I have that one built hanging in my garage! I’m going to bring it up to the house and redo some things along with the fw-190

Started the Typhoon this week. Got the cockpit built up and painted. Used Yahu instrument panel. Might used the painted kit panel still.

Howdy there!! I’ve a question about building my first ww1 aircraft. I build ww2 1/24 scale aircraft and a couple of wood ships from scratch. I really appreciate the ww1 aircraft I’ve seen here and it looks like the WNW kits stand above most I’ve seen for detail and variety. However, is it a kit I should use as my first dip into ww1 aircraft? I know they are more expensive than other kits but it looks like it’s worth it. What do you think? thanks in advance, Mike (irishman1)

Came out fantastic!

That landing gear came out fantastic! Great skill in scratch building.

Mostly finished my airfix 1/24 Spitfire ix. I used Vallejo air series paints. Metal master cannon barrels. Surgical suture thread for the antenna and IFF wires. HGW seat harnesses. Some copper and steel wire and plastic casings for hoses and engine wiring. I drilled a couple 1mm holes in the engine cowling pieces and inserted strong 1mm x1mm diameter magnets in the cowlings and engine frame so they’re removable. I used the stock decals for the markings and warning signs but sprayed the stripe and squadron lettering duck egg green. I still need to repaint the crowbar silver though!! next up, my Airfix 1/24 Typhoon!

Drilled several 1mm by 1mm holes in the cowling covers and engine framework, then installed magnets to hold them on when I don’t want to have engine visible.e

I’ve heard that a couple times now, I guess I’ve only seen color pictures of restored aircraft with the red crowbar. It makes sense that the ww2 crowbars would be Soler or bare steel color. I’ll repaint it !!!

Painted the yellow guard stripes on the wings., re-doped the barrel ends. Now on to the 1/24 Typhoon!!!

Almost there!!! Got the squadron and plane lettering masked and painted along with the rear stripe. Ran out of paint as I was just finishing the stripe… a antenna and FFL wire, a few more decals where the painted items were and I’m done

Also got the door on the correct way too!!

Just a few more details. I decided to just use the decals from the kit instead of the 1 man army stencils. I’ll save them for the typhoon. I also need to rig the antenna and the IFF wire, paint the rear fuselage strip, get the squad letters on. then weather it and call it done. Here’s a few pictures from today
