Hawker Typhoon Mk I

Posted by ajcmac on Friday, February 20, 2015 11:16 AM

Another finished model. This time the Typhoon Italeri 1/48 rebox of Hasegawa. My first attempt at a D-Day model.

I hope you enjoy.

Wow she' just gorgeous! The invasion stripes look perfect.

She is a beauty indeed!

Just curious, did the kit come with no ordnance, or just did you opt not to put any on? She looks a bit underdressed without things that go boom on the ground to my eye...

Man, that's a nice looking Typhoon! Beautiful work indeed. I dunno, without ordnance, I think it sort of enhances the predatory look of these birds. Kind of lets you appreciate their brutal "lines"! Yes

I don't get it -- I have never been able to get into the Typhoon. I don't know how I could not like an airplane with such a special engine and that much fire-power! Regardless, FANTASTIC work!! She looks very, very nice!
