New Airfix 1/72 Typhoon

This is my recently completed 1/72 new Tool Airfix Typhoon 1b.

Really beautifull little kit with exelent detail and fit.The decals go on like they were painted!

Brilliant value for $ :slight_smile:

Nice undercart detail.

Same with the gunbays, all standard in the box

Excellent build and beautiful diorama. I like it.

Well done. Is the fuel truck from the new Airfix ground equipment set?

Nicely done! Airfix looks to be doing quality stuff at a great price lately.

Nice looking dio, I’ve always been a big fan of the Typhoon.

Thanx guys.

John. The truck (Bedford) is one of two fuelers aswell as the crew are all from the old box Airfix. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) the new red box is the same thing.

As for the quality I was very happy with the molding on the trucks, they had little flash and was nice and crisp.

For some reason they do not include windows.

The figures took allot of cleaning up around the seams and a few were “miss alligned” a little.

Othewise nice and easy to build.

That’s a great looking build. Nice to se Airfix putting so much detail into kits, not that many come with open gun bays like that, even more expensive ones.

They give the option for both bays, but I only did the port side as to not loose to much of the camo pattern.

The cockpit is highly detailed, even the floor is like the full size with tube structure and floorboards. Pitty you can’t see it in the pix.
