Hawker Typhoon?

[Wurger]

Anyhoo, fun is, three or fourbladed prop, what spinner as there are three different ones in the kit and long or short tail....

Nice to know that the kit comes with parts for the early, mid and late Typhoons.

True, wouldn't be surprised, if a car door version is planned, the way things are laid out...

BTW old boy, you were asking about the colour of the engine block. The pic below is the engine from the RAF Museum's Typhoon, more or less original WW2, photographed last October at Cosford, when the airframe and engine were being 'packed' ready for shipping to Canada.
It's black.
The only 'green' engine I've seen is the one on display alongside the RAF Museum's aircraft, now on loan at the museum in Canada, which presumably has been made 'pretty' for display purposes, for whatever reason.

Much obliged old chap, tremendously appreciated and all that rot!
Should be restored to factory specs, even if outside only, otherwise....not correct!

Fiddle on with the '109, then......the He 219 or.....the Typhoon! Hmmmmm....

Green, white and red seem to be the standard colours used in cutaway examples of machinery, both military and industrial right up to the 1980's
I have seen a lot of engines, gearboxes and other devices sectioned and painted exactly like that Sabre - even down to being the same shade.

Trying to figure out this with the 'short tail' and 'long tail' versions in my Typhoon/Tempest books, could it have something to do with, if it's car door version or the sliding hood?

From what I can find, MN 413 most likely was built with large Tempest tail planes and a three blade prop !

Airmen of No. 419 Repair and Salvage Unit, aided by an AEC mobile crane, remove damaged Hawker Typhoon Mark IB, MN413 'I8-T', of No. 440 Squadron RCAF from the landing strip, following a wheels-up landing at B9/Lantheuil, Normandy, on 1 August 1944.

Still haven't found what this part L14 is....some kind of cooler I imagine..

In Brett Greens book it is simply called a "tropical filter.....fitted to late production Typhoons"
Here the only pic I got:

[Lucky13]

Cheers mate, appreciated! Odd place for a filter, I must say...

 

[Lucky13]

Something that is, it seems, missing from the instructions for the Typhoon...

 

[Wurger]

If there isn't it means you have to make it from scratch.

 

[Lucky13]

No, no, the part is there, they only forgot to add it in the instructions....

 

[Wurger]

I see. Which part?

 

[Lucky13]

I'll need to go and look now....to early in the morning, for this kinda difficult questions!

 

[Lucky13]

C14, it looks like...

 

[Wurger]

There is no need to be in a hurry my friend. You may muddle a fridge with the toilet.

 

[Wurger]

Oh we have criss-crossed posts. I don't think there is the piece omitted in the instruction. Just the pic no.67 is the general view at the engine with showing where the endings of the C14 pipe shoule be stuck. The black arrows going from these endings indicate it clearly. The small diagram seems to be no.66 and shows the C14 detail attached but the view at the engine and pipe is from the opposite direction comparing to the one no.67. So no problem with that methinks. Just a matter of reading skills of diagrams.
