1:48 Typhoon Mk.Ib early-mid – a transparent cockpit cover matching the transitional stage of the Typhoon's framed canopy.
Responsibility details are not available.
The transitional form of the cockpit stands between the very earliest machines and the later sliding canopy. The Typhoon kept the framed cover with a side door, but the glazing went through modifications that were meant to improve the pilot's view at least in part. It is precisely this intermediate stage that the transparent part offered here captures in 1:48 scale.
Production of the Mk.Ib ran from 1942 and the machines changed continuously during it without the version designation changing. Alongside modifications to the glazing came changes to the armament, the exhausts and the tail surfaces. A modeler building a particular machine from a period photograph therefore has to compare the shape of the cockpit with the subject; the difference between the individual stages is small but clearly visible on a model.
The clear part is sensitive to fingerprints, so it is handled through a piece of paper or in gloves. Before painting it is degreased and left to dry thoroughly. The frames stand out if the interior shade is applied to them first and the upper camouflage only once that has dried. Avoid super glue on glazing, as it fogs the surface.
The item covers the canopy only. The base model and modeling chemicals are bought separately.
