Hi All it's been a while since i posted life has been busy but I finally finished a project I have been working at for some time.This is a Deals Wheels inspired Hawker Typhoon totally scratch built from revells 1/32 scale kit and spare parts from big daddy Garlits dragster.I really don't know were to start on this build it was a ton of work to chop it all down and putty the @#$%$ out of it to look good.The only reason i picked this plane is because it has to be my all time favorite WW2 fighter,it was in a sense a HOTROD of it's time the only plane that could catch a low flying german FW 190 with it's 2200 hp engine.Well here is my take on a blown Typhoon sporting markings and color of canadian 440 sq H.Hardy Pulverizer.
