OK, I know this is not strictly Wargaming but here is a link to photos of my Hasegawa 1/48th Hawker Typhoon on my wargaming blog! Thanks for looking! link |

Nice, especially like the photo at the end! I like Typhoons for their rockets! |

Thanks fred, yeah, I love them too! They never get as much attention as the Spits and Hurricanes! |

Hi Tim, thanks for the comments! I'm glad you liked the Typhoon. As for the panel lines, it's been a while since I built this kit (actually last Summer, I'm using this blog to show my old stuff first…), but I'm sure it wouldn't have been anything more complicated than a simple black ink wash. I had an old pot of Citadel Chaos Black ink that I kept toping up with water, so it was really rather thinned down (it's too far gone now…). I will have just spread it across with a big soft brush and made sure it made it's way into the recesses. As I said in the post, I am no modeller, so it would have been a technique I use for wargaming figures. You can see where some of the ink has collected on the panels anyway, so it's not perfect! I hope that's of some help! |

Not a modeler? Well, I hope you enjoyed making as much as I enjoyed viewing it. Quite the troop transport! |
