MDC 1/32 Hawker Typhoon - Resin Kit

By Ron Patterson

This was one of my all time favorite builds. It is MDC's great resin kit of the Hawker Typhoon. The kit is not for beginners but that being said, it is a joy to build.

I've always wanted to build Harry Hardy’s famous "Pulverizer IV" from RCAF 440 Squadron. No decals of this plane exist in 1/32 scale so I had to rummage markings out of the spares box. The Pulverizer IV had to be hand painted.

I didn't use the vac. canopy provided with the kit. As luck would have it, the Hawker Typhoon used a very similar canopy to the Hawker Sea Fury! so I ordered an extra canopy from Paul Fisher when I ordered my second Sea Fury Kit from him. It's a perfect fit requiring absolutely no modifications, just glue it on!

This was a fun build, start to finish.
