Calling the 1/24th Airfix Typhoon finished. A fun build of a very good model.
Thanks to Airscale and EagleCal Decals for providing the very excellent decals used for instruments and "Manu" markings.
I won't bother with the dio, no need to rehash things already done.
I enjoyed the stay at Aeroscale and thank Matt,Joel, Bernd and John for their sage advice during the build.
cheers,
berndm

Jullian,
I'll 2nd what Bernd said. It's been a great build thread to follow, and one that I really enjoyed. Your finished model is truly a centerpiece of your collection.

So what's your next build going to be?

Hi Al,
I didn't bother to finish the dio.
Picking up anchor and getting underway at the moment,

Hi Joel,
next project is underway, Revell's LSM in 1/144th scale. A shrimp compared to the Typhoon. It has been a pleasure listening to your advice on this build. Go with God Joel, Vaya con dios,
