Bernard,

Well done Tiffy! I appreciate the restrained exterior weathering. The cockpit is a lot of fun to just look at.

Nice work Bernard!

Beautiful model with a very nice finish. I like the restrained weathering too.

Bernard,
a very nicely built Typhoon in my favorite scale. Your painting, decaling, and insignia masking are near on perfect. You've made a very strong case for us decalers to take a good hard look at just what masking can accomplish. The insignias don't have that lay on the top of the paint look, they look like they're painted on, especially as they flow into all the recess panel lines. Only the thinnest of thin decals come close to that effect.

Your resin cockpit really is weathered nicely. I do like the use of medium browns over the more traditional blacks. I've been using Raw Umber, and it's still too dark compared to the tones you've achieved. Which I really like. The only area that I think black would still work, is the tracks directly under the rudder peddles.

Weathering is always a subjective and personal decision. My only concern when viewing a model is that the weathering looks realistic, regardless of the amount or type of weathering. And your Typhoon certainly looks realistic as a newer/well maintained aircraft. Panel lines are all nicely brought out, yet there is exhaust staining, and traces of weathering every where one looks. Well done.
