Nothing wrong with 1/24 aircraft! Hope to have one of my own going here before too much longer.  |

Always sweet to see an interior finished makes me want to start/finish a plane project too.

thanks for the kind words guys!!!!!much appreciated.This is my first 1/24 plane since the airfix ju87 was released so its been a while. It has taken the Typhoon to spark enough interest to want to build and finish!!! I built a few of these many years ago when Airfix 1/72 kits were everywhere!!! How right you are Rick!!!!!!LOL. managed to get the engine mostly done and weathered. still some touch up to do and the pipework underneath. I have replaced most of the moulded pipes and cables with wire and heatshrink tubing. following the instructions to the letter!!!   bill |

Man that looks great! It's one thing to make it look that good but to do it as fast as you are is amazing to me. You'll have this one done in no time.

I'll say it once again...those rockets are freakin' awesome. The radiator looks great too. Weathering around the engine is very convincing.

Sweet! Have you decided how much open engine panels are you going to have? There are plenty of them! My suggestion is if the multiple panel fit gets wonky, open it up. That'll resolve that issue if it rears it's ugly head and show off the great work you are doing under the bonnet.

many,many thanks for your interest and comments guys!!!
I spent today making up the wheel wells and gun bays.I reckon I will close up the gun bays and leave all the engine covers off.
Rick, I think you're right. The engine panels will be left off and the office open.....at least that's the thought today, tomorrow.......we'll see!!
don't know if I'll get anything done tomorrow, off mountain-biking so may be a bit done-in when I get back!!!
LOL
