Hasegawa 1/72nd Typhoon FGR.4 Op Ellamy
Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2021 2:51 am
Recently started the Hasegawa Typhoon FGR.4. I am building this alongside the Victor so despite it not being a big kit, it won't be a quick build. I've been more used to old Hasegawa kits of modern subjects which tend not to include ordanace, but this one is loaded with it. In fact its quite forward looking. The kit was released in 2012 but there are several weapons which had not yet been cleared for the Typhoon. But i'll be doing the box art aircraft during Op Ellamy in 2011, shortly after the type was cleared for the Air to Ground role. I do like the Typhoon, i saw them up close in the Falklands during my 2 and 3rd trip down south.
I'm adding some EDuard PE, and some resin wheels and seat as well as other AM parts. The Pavla seat included molded on seat belts but i cheate and layed the pre coloured PE over the raised belts.
And got this fitted and the fuselage together. Nothing difficult so far.
And got the wheel wells ready. The instructions call for white in the wells and intakes, but they should be Light Aircraft Grey, so thats what i will use.
More soon.
