    1/72 Brengun, starting this now, working slowly while finishing other things, walls added to undercarriage bays and a little repair to the seat.

    Airfix's modern Typhoon in 1/72 is superior. But if there's anyone who can turn this cloth purse into faux silk, it's you, Allan.

    Thank you Tom, I think the problem for me with the Airfix kit is it's bubble canopy and four blade prop'.

    Great choice, Allan @kalamazoo.
    One of my favorite English aircraft.
    The boxart is absolutely different than usual. A water ditched Typhoon.
    Looking forward to your build.

    You are a model-building machine, Allan (@kalamazoo). Your work is great and I am looking forward to the rest of the build. Also looking forward to seeing what pops up next from your workbench. You seem to have wide-ranging interests in models.

    Good to see it on the bench again, Allan @kalamazoo
    Are you using a sort of clay to hold the wheels.
