Hi Andy

A fantastic build! But - and I hardly dare say it - you've got the ailerons drooped both sides...

All the best

Rowan, I was wondering how long it would take before someone would notice. It must be Andy's 1st April fool...

Other than that it's a very fine build, especially considering it's a resin model and how fast it went together!

Massive hydraulic failure .
I put them all down whilst building it as they snap into place. They aren't glued, so I will level one side out.

Any chance of any more photos please


Not at the moment as i have just ripped the canopy back off it. wasn't sitting right and every time I looked at it, it got on my nerves.

Thanks for all your kind responses. it was an enjoyable build and I enjoyed sharing it with you.
I have done a feature on the specs and a few interesting facts on the Typhoon, with some more shots of the model, Hawker Typhoon Mk.1B .
