Thanks for the advice ,

However I have already ordered a 4 Blade Propeller from Ultracast

when it arrives next week ? I will start Production -

I am awaiting the Ultracast Radiator and Pilot Seat also ,

and won't start until that arrives ,

I have just got the Model through the Post ( ordered on E-Bay )

today , so I am nearly there .

Best wishes David

Send us a couple of pictures during construction David, it will be interesting to see how the Ultracast bits look.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=300017548412

this is the link to view parts - and the quality is worth it , far more detailed than Hasegawa Issue that it replaces ,

eg Typhoon Radiator has no ' X ' in the middle in original kit on sprue

the Pilot Seat has not straps etc on it

and the Typhoon Exhaust has not the level of detail

, not is it hollow out at the exhaust end - creating realism .

See for yourselves -

looks very nice.

its amazing how little details like that make soo much difference to a model.

hence why they make extra after-market details i spoze!

yea i can imagine hollowing out the original parts yourself would have been a tedious job!
