Yes that was my primary reason for getting the new kit, the hull blew me away with the detail. I am going to make sure I do it justice!

Ahh.... thats what it was doing off Manila Bay....



No honestly I am pretty sure the remaining Typhoons won't be putting to sea any time soon.

Hi Andrew, looks like we got our Typhoons at the same time, I took a couple of years out due to family commitments and only recently completed it. I got to tank testing it prior to paint before I let it go. Hope fully this one should be completed much sooner! Let me know which bits you want to see in detail via PM and I'll pay closer attention to them in the build report.
