Wow. You've done this one great justice. The weathering is nice and not overdone at all, yet she looks well used.
I almost want to build this kit now just for those rockets. They are works of art...or course everything Master puts out is spectacular. Looking forward to seeing the completed pics.

From what I've seen the kit NEEDS those rockets - they took a definite shortcut on the ordinance!

It's just absolutely fantastic. Really great stuff. A beautiful airplane and masterfully executed all the way around. Those rockets are eye candy for sure and set this thing on fire. Congrats!

Hahaha, baby Typhoon! Superb finish, man. Decals and paint are stellar. Those metal rockets seem like a necessary addition for sure.
Got a big enough area to take a pic next to the Mossie?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. Yeah Dupes, I've actually shot a couple pics of the couple. but not satisfied with them. I'll shoot a few more this weekend. Tiffy's big but it's dwarfed by the Mossie. I'm actually thinking of getting my 1/24 spitfire out and working on it. That'd be a group shot!

Keep talking about "big and British" and you're going to make me haul out a 1/24 hurricane to go with your Spit!  |

Sounds like a potential great topic for a group build Dupes. Say 1/32 and larger ...
I doubt I'd be able to participate. Hell, I don't even where to put these big ol' things now!

Lol. Never thought I'd play a stadium Wing. That's just to funny. In reference to you last post, how was that shower? Lol again.
Many thanks guys. Coming from the talent I've seen you all create, it's very humbling.
