Re: Monogram Hawker Typhoon
Ive built this kit a few times. Its looking great.
In my research travels 2 things i discovered.
1. Theres a thin white stripe behind the blue on the spinner. Such a pain to paint.
2. There was an argument a few years ago on a different forum over the colour of the spinner. A few eye witness accounts of the original aircraft report a red spinner. In saying that, ask 10 people the colour of the car that just drove by and youll get 10 different responses.

Re: Monogram Hawker Typhoon
Scorpiomikey... I did notice that on the box cover. No doubt it will be a PITA to do. But I'm confident I'll figure out something.
Anyhow.... the camo scheme is finished!

Re: Monogram Hawker Typhoon
Heh.... just figured out what MacGuyver would do. First, I made a thin strip of tape and wrapped it on bottom of propeller. Next, I made a thinner strip of tape and followed it above the first tape line; removed the bottom tape. Perfect!
Next I wrapped each orop blade with post it pad paper, taped them together to hold it.
Now I then cut several tape sizes to cover the spinner. First between the blades then wrap a couple wide straps to wrap it.
Finally, small blobs of blue tack to cover the tiny crevices where the tape won't reach. Now I'm ready for white paint tomorrow. I will be spraying in several light coats to prevent any bleeds. Here's the end result of the masking session...

Nice work. That looks awesome.

Looks great!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
