One Tiffy finished.

After a few days hiatus I finally got round to finishing up this model. It's a nice one to build tho have to be careful with the fit as the tolerances are VERY tight, especially the engine/cockpit. Canopy fit isn't/wasn't to great, but hey, it'll do me Smile

 

So here she is:

  

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here she is up on the shelf.........along with my next project on the bench

 

As always.........comments and critique warmly welcomed.............enjoy and thanks for looking in.

 

Stay safe........Steve

Looks great man! Nice paint work. Only thing I see are a couple of the exhaust pipes got outta line. Nice work space too! And one BIG shelf. Switching up to something modern I see. I'm sure you'll do it justice. Once again, nice looking Typhoon!

Thanks Wingman, guess I'll just have to go check those exhausts and straighten 'em out!  Workspace is a garden shed out back, have run out of room in there so have had to take out and 'old' model to put this one in. Guess the 'old' one will end up in the bin as it is one of the first ones I did upon my return to this hobby and to be honest......it's a bit c***!

Also have a few more in a cabinet in the house.

Stay safe........Steve
