Coming together nicely Bill. As to colours, not sure what your Mk 22 looks like but standard Dark Green/Ocean Grey would seem suitable. I'd lighten the colours rathyer than darken them.

Good stuff Bill.

Soory Nut, it's just sitting in place, no adhesive. I just needed to see I really have made some headway on this. Now I cqan see it coming together. Painted some small parts last night on both entries.

That Tiffy is looking rather Spiffy, Bill!

 

[N4521U]

To repeat myself from the Spitty post, I am nearly ready to paint. Just a couple of seams to finish off. Don't know if it is correct, can I put the four blade prop on this thing???? It looks killer with it.

Looking good Bill. I'm afraid the 'car door' Typhoon had the 3- blade prop - the four-blade unit was fitted to late production Tiffies, which also normally had the larger Tempest tail-planes, and retro-fitted to some earlier 'bubble hooded' models. But the early, car door Typhoons were long out of service, in general terms, by then.

Looks good Bill and guess what, while rooting through my spare bits box yesterday I came across a couple of blisters..........., possibly from one of my earlier Spit builds. Sorry about that mate, I could have saved you a lot of drama................maybe next time...................

 

[N4521U]

Dramas is my middle name, nuthin seems to come easy for me, I always have to struggle just a bit. But that builds character....... or so they tell me. I'm pickin colours again. It's just so confusing, I wish someone would come up with colour numbers for the camo scheme. I will have to look thru the forums again to see if I can find recommendations.

 

[N4521U]

I did the Huzzah thing on the other post...... LOL

I have paint on top and bottom, first color......

Now comes the hard part, camo!

 

[Wayne Little]

Cool Bill!

fingers crossed on the camo mate!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice!

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Two planes at once. Looking good.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

With all here Bill, looking good sir!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nicely done mate, hope the camo comes out looking just as good.
