I'm looking at adding some Typhoons to my flames of war force, and the BF ones are rather expensive, so I've been looking around for 1:100, 1:144 or 1:200 scale typhoons, other scale could be ok, but I can't seem to find anything other than Skytrex. Can anyone point me in other directions?
Thanks. |

Typing "Typhoon" into the message board title search will get you reviews of at least two others…. |

Armaments in Miniature (Dave Schmid) probably has a 1/100 Typhoon in his line. And it will be fantastic. |

Yep….Mk IB for $12.00 USD which includes the rockets.
Look under "Manufacturers" on here. |

There is a Prebuilt out, in 1/144, from a Japanese Company.. The Name fails me right now, but it is one of the major companies.
Ah found it….. it was at Hobby Link Japan (HLJ) here is the link:
hlj.com/product/FTS60061 This is actually a 10 pack of planes and unfortunately you might get 0-10 of the Typhoons, pending on how "randomly" they pack the box. Cost is about $43, (Y4,000 or 4,000 Yen) for the set of 10, which comes with a Desert paint scheme and a GRey/Green scheme for the Typhoons. Other planes which come with these are: Shoki or a Shinden.. both late War Japanese Planes. hope that helps.

I have the minifigs one, metal 1:144 (ish) -- the only downside is that it doesn't come with decals.

The Airfix plane is a great model, but is 1:72 scale. Old Glory do a Typhoon in their 15mm Flyin' Fokkers range. I searced Ebay for diecast 1:100 and found a perfect tempest in D-Day stripes. |

VonStengel, that is the F-Toys Wing Kit desert cam version, he has the "Special" version as well which has D-Day stripes, very exxy. The NWE version is scarce and hard to find. |

Yeah, well eBay is your friend on this.
You can regularly find the air power sets for half price plus shipping on eBay.
It is where i got my set of Typhoons. :-) Grimm |
