JohnB Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Calling this one done! I wasn't real sure I wanted to build this old mold kit with the plethora of raised rivets etc but finally decided to go on and try it. I'm glad I continued with it as I think it turned out fine. Here's a list of the modifications I made: 1. Replaced canopy with a Hasegawa item. 2. Replaced canopy headrest, etc with correct Eduard detailing parts. 3. Replaced cockpit with Eduard resin set. 4. Added FineMold belts. 5. Replaced centerline bomb/drop tank rack with Hasegawa ones. 6. Sanded off ALL raised rivets. 7. Lightly scribed panel lines. It had many fit problems, especially with the Eduard cockpit set. The set was made for one of the new tool kits and, since this is a old tool kit, it just did not fit without a lot of work. Painted with White Ensign Colourcoats, Testor's, Humbrol, and Tamiya. Decals are Eaglecals. I hope you like it! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Turned out nice for a terrible old tooling of the Wurger, all that work really turned it round . Good mottling too ! I feel embarrassed at my shelving of the elderly Revell Typhoon now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Maybe you could resume work on the Typhoon now? Difficult but not impossible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult but not impossible. I did the same as you and bought a resin cockpit for it 6 months ago to try to re enthuse me ....it's still a hound though . One day maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
