A fine kit to build. Forgot to install the control stick in cockpit. Oh well...

Well done, that is a seriously nice looking model of what is definitely my favourite aircraft 
Very good work sir 
Funnily enough, I did exactly the same thing when I built the Monogram kit - I left the stick and the lower cockpit assembly on the bench...

LOL…. thank you for the kind words. I’ll admit, that is the first time I forgot to install the control stick in all the years of building aircraft model kits.

She turned out great! My only Typhoon is the old Monogram kit. Tom, I read that you need masks for a He-111. If that's a 1/48 model, this should work. I used their services on my Monogram Mosquito and they worked perfectly. You can order this set from them, and they will custom-make masks for any kit that you may have; read about their custom-mask service on their website.

Hey, I left some pics of their masks on your Typhoon WIP thread, Tom!

looking good, Tom. Well done.
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!"..
