this will make the model has EJ906, of 451 Squadron, in the field of aviation "El daba" Egypt in September 1943



more pics in ADF-Serials Image Gallery :: 451 Squadron Hawker Typhoon

some history I found on the internet I could not even compare'm waiting to see if I find some books dealing with the subject in the meantime I have this:
the 451 squadron being sent to the Middle East was equipped with the typhoon, hurricane leaving MKIIb, Was being tested to check the operation of the airplane in the desert, did not go into action with them, Was only from January to October 1943 the first model arrived in early February (R8841), and the second model was finished in June 1943 riding (EJ906), there was a third device the (DN323), the latter was not used because it was shown in tests was suffering on the engine was producing unexpected heating a large loss of power, in addition to the filters and radiators were suffering in too.

so that I could find I even have come Techmod decals to know the colors were but I could find was second light earth, middle stone to the botton surfaces and the lower surfaces azure

I love the Typhoon - my fave WW2 wingy - yer makin' a great job of this one - I love the desert schemes too - nice choice

I agree the typhoons were beautiful aircraft, we are talking about these aircraft ground attack and close support are known now, but yet I between the typhoon and tempest MKv, the latter will win in beauty and elegance, (and lodges when you start it that I have to eduard)

Looking good Des! Nice to desert Tiffy! When I built mine I used the same camo used on the Spits, and Hurricanes. Dark earth, Middlestone, and Azure Blue.

[destrozas.]

cheers friends,

the fact is that it appears to be fine but when I painted that is not so. the Gunze c21 not look anything like the color that should, so 70824 of vallejo on the c-21 to simulate paint wear.
for dark earth did with the c22 and this made ​​a mixture of C-22 and c310 (1-3), low pressure and 0'17mm needle as with mid stone has see how .... ..

[wbill76]

That ought to produce some nice color tones/variations there des! Pattern looks good from here.

[modelfreak72]

Likes like your going for the old desert warrior look, very nice!

[DeafStuG]

Looking good job - real camo effect / texture.

[bish]

Nice looking build, the pit looks great.

[destrozas.]

Thanks to all three.
saw as clear colors and no friends not well despinte they saw the plane, wool washing utensils and caustic soda 50% dissolved in demineralized water in two hours everything faded but intact inside, searching the internet I found two pages that mixes came out to get the colors I needed, mid stone (not middle stone) was in the equivalences that read the vallejo model 70824 brown-colored gold and azure blue the 70902, I have more 100 vallejo paints but these two do not had, followed by searching and found a forum that had a discussion of the difference between the ANA and BS colors (between Americans and the English colors), it turns out that this forum gave the formulas to get the most accurate colors possible with enough paintings modeling and direct references too.
As with the formula for the paintings pull the dosing quantities of which are used in laboratories to make the formulas to carry them after manufacture (pic 1), take the measures suggested and did some tests and seeing the finish was more to my taste and to be the repaint, I stand as I did the colors:
mid stone, referring mr color paint is the cost if I have no vallejo, 3 drops C-21 and C-119 1 drop, in my case were 3ml of C-21 but the 1 ml of C-119.
dark earth has direct reference C-22
to the azure blue H25 + H67 + H82 in parts of 8 +3 +2 respectively, the only thing that had already pointed out in my book if mixed mixtures H25 and H67 have the blue blue use mitsubishi drives, that is Gunze H323 direct reference, since even easier for the relationship gets 7 parts of H323 for each part of H82, the result is great, but if instead of H82 that is very green H53 use the neutral gray with less blue can achieve the same result.
















P.S:

to make the azure blue with H53 and H323 the mezcal was, H323 and H53 3ml 1 ml

[fightnjoe]

topside looks absolutely stunning. very nice effect.

Now I can see what you were after Des, nice work on getting the right mix together of the lighter shades needed.

[destrozas.]

I have problems to place more progress gives me an error every time I upload photos, I'll wait a few days and check my connection I updated and I have not even debug.
nemesis how true that is for me more than recommended kit

[destrozas.]

After this long time without much time to connect to the network, I bring enough photographic material, have been a few days and really bad a few weeks of work and family problems that I have had busy.
I put the photos and not mess me to tell my stories to not sleep .....

I start by the placement of the decals say of them that are fabulous










will continue with the oils. very faint, not like that they are very marked, I gave him a paint simulating desert dust (I have to improve a lot on this topic)







to complete a light hand matte varnish leaving other areas with more brightness, place the last pieces and finished project



















finally one of the last detaller I've made​​, HUD made ​​with a piece of clear acetate with dremer turning, lost that came with the kit

[thug626]

A very nice finish indeed. I especially like the tonal variation you have on the topside.

[wbill76]

Sorry to hear things have been keeping you away but good to see you've been making progress on this one, nice set of pics!

[destrozas.]

Wbill76, things have to happen and sometimes it does not touch other touch others is what happens in life, this is so.

Thanks for commenting on both

[deafpanzer]
