Typhoon ZY-Y
1August 13, 2018My second Tiffy! This time with all covers closed. It saves a lot of time, because Airfix indicated which parts not to use for this model.
2August 13, 2018It even strikes me more this second time to see how perfect the model is. You could fit many parts without glue!
3August 13, 2018The cockpit under construction.
4August 13, 2018The seat in place.
5August 19, 2018The first time ever I painted a pilot! My wife painted the other pilots for the big kits and I didn't like to paint figures. But now I've got some for the Mosquito to paint.
6August 13, 2018The pilot in command.
7August 19, 2018The cockpit with wing spars
8August 19, 2018The wings beginning to take shape
9August 19, 2018Guns in place
10August 19, 2018Wingtips added
11August 19, 2018Wings are ready
12August 19, 2018The cowlings in place
13August 19, 2018The beautiful nose: just a little filling needed
14August 27, 2018A four bladed prop with red spinner this time.
15August 27, 2018My first attemp at preshading. Don't know if it works.
16September 23, 2018I used the metal rockets from Master.
17September 23, 2018The rockets are very good, including the pigtails
18September 23, 2018Lots of perfectly fitting pieces make eight nice rockets
19September 23, 2018The decals were a bit of a problem. Very thin an difficult to apply. Fortunately Master was kind enough to send me two sparesets of decals!
20September 23, 2018Read for the second colour. Unfortunately there is not much to be seen of the preshading, still have to learn a lot. But used blue-tac and this made nice soft edges.
21September 23, 2018Masking for the black and white stripes. I covered the whole aircraft, because somehow the paint always ends up in places where it shouldn't! I used aluminiumfoil, because this can very easily be applied, for example in the wheelwells.
22September 23, 2018THe first colour is on, now the black.
23September 23, 2018And the result: I was very pleased, because there was no overspray and hardly any creeping. On my previous Typhoon it took me hours to correct, but this time it was near perfect. Seems I've learned a bit.
24September 23, 2018And now readay for glosscoat and decals. The landing gear and the flaps have been fitted, the canopy sits in placce and only some small details need to be added.
25September 23, 2018Stateportrait of this beauty!
26October 8, 2018Almost finished! The beautiful rockets in place and the decals and black and white stripes.
27October 12, 2018The final result
28October 12, 2018Pilot in command
29October 12, 2018Brothers in arms. The colours differ a bit. The first time I picked my own Vallejo colours, the second time Vallejo issued a special RAF set and they are better
30October 12, 2018Armed and able
31October 12, 2018Side by side!
