Title: Hawker Typhoon Ib, Airfix, 1/72
Post by: Jicehem on April 19, 2018, 11:43:14 PM

Hello all,  :-salut

Here is the last Hawker Typhoon Ib by Airfix in 1/72 scale. The kit is highly detailed and very accurate with one very important shortcoming in the form of an inaccurate four-bladed airscrew. I replaced it by the propeller of the brengun kit...
I mounted no bombs and nor rockets because I wanted to represent the plane of F/O A. H. Fraser of RAF 439 (Canadian) Squadron who shot down two Fw 190 As on January 1st, 1945 and an Me 262 A-2 of 5./KG(J) 51 on February 14th, 1945 (This is the red Balkenkreuz on the fuselage right side).
