My Airfix 1/24 scale Typhoon

[Irishman1]

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

Absolutely stunning build congrats, just looking at my first stencils for markings. I saw you use Vallejo, which blue and red do you recommend for the roundels etc…….

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.

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

Doing a bang up job on this one!

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.

Beauty!

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

[Irishman1]

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

Looking the Brute.

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.

The Typhoon came really Nice and not over done on the weathering,As to the Kenetic what I have seen some do with the engine has been pretty nice but it was added on.The copit did seem it was kind of bland from what little I have seen but enhancements I would bet can be added fairly easy just let the imagination happen.

That came out great , I love the paint fading effect , and all the masking paid off well . Lovely result. 

I've got the doggy old Revell IB 1/32 to get around to one day , 🫣

Nice work. Great engine. Shame to cover it up.

[Irishman1]

Still need to weather the wheel wells and flap openings

[Irishman1]

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!

[Irishman1]

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

[Irishman1]

Got it! Prop done! On to the completed model inspection
