R Spreckley Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 This build was commissioned through the Hawker Typhoon Restoration Project http://hawkertyphoon.com/ who are aiming to restore to flight the world's only MkIb. All proceeds for the build go directly to the project. This one's abit special as it is for the son of GR Capt J R Baldwin, so I am honoured to be doing this for him. As usual Arfix kit is sublime with little fettling in putting it together. It is just a shame all that detail gets closed up! I used my go to paints: vallejo air and used Tamiya pigments for weathering. Monte masks supplied the serial and nose art. The full build can be found on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Mancavemodelsathome/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Just an absolutely impressive build. Weathering certainly creates the impression of a maintained operational aircraft. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
