Looking good black sheep. I heard someone say Tamiya XF71 cockpit green was a good option for British aircraft as well.

I don't have XF71 in my paint stash. I was going to use Model Master RAF Interior Green but it looked too light. Pale Green was a good match for British Interior Green on paint4models chart.

It is. I've used it on a few builds of mine since the color was released. Model Master's RAF Interior Gray Green is perfectly fine and matches up nicely to Humbrol's take on that color (78?)

Yep, 78. Mind you, the top halves may well be black on the Typhoon - can't remember off the top of my head. It's a great kit this Tom, I had a lot of fun building mine.

Gear doors and tires done....

Well done!

Nice! Very nice!

Rockets done! I wasn't crazy about the color assignment of the rockets being the same as the underside (Flat Gull Grey FS36440). So, I went with Flint Grey with RAF Dark Green for the tips.

Gaps filled in on wing cannons...
