Hi folks I've managed to complete the old Monogram Typhoon. I picked it up from a show a while ago for £7 and aside for some ropey decals it went together very well. Hope you like her and thanks for looking in.

John,

Absolutely no complaints from me that's turned out very nicely indeed. Built one of their old 1/72 Bf110 last year and had no complaints either.

ATB.

She looks excellent John. Nice looking subject as well. Good job the chequered decal came out OK. Wouldn’t want to hand paint that!

Yes Tim tried it once on a very old set of decals which disintegrated. I reckon they'd have broken up anyway in water. I normally start with a very small decal if they're old and use that as a rule of thumb as and what to use if anything but sometimes holding my breath and praying works. I've had problems with new decals normally Tamiya but I have a nice little arsenal to help me out. Thanks for the info it all helps the cause.image.jpg

I'd like to throw them all away. If only I had the patience and time to make my own stencils and paint them on. One day I might have ago at it.

John,
May I ask where you sourced the panoramic background - if it is a commercial offering do they come in a range of scales and scenarios?

Hi Steve the scenic background is just one from the range of railway scenic backdrops and they do come in various settings. I acquired mine from my LMS. I'm sure there avaible on eBay Amazon or any online supplier. Thanks for looking in and your feedback. Cheers John.
