THE
PERFECT

PART TWO
Paolo Portuesi
concludes
his build of the giant
Airfix Typhoon
Airfix provide
some nice
options for
markings but I
wanted to
create my own
using Montex
masks

After painting the engine and internals and finishing the assembly
that we looked at in the previous issue, it was time to enjoy
getting some colour on this beautiful kit. In the giant Airfix box
there are four set of markings including one for MP197, known as
the only Typhoon to have carried a shark-mouth. Despite the
markings being very interesting, and the decals very good, I
decided to produce a finish that was not offered by Airfix. When
available, I always use masks over decals even in smaller scales.
Lately, I have used Montex masks a few times and I simply love
them. They can be accurately placed as they can be moved
around into the right position before flattening into place. In
addition to the marking masks for MM987 of 198 Squadron during
March 1944, Montex Set K24070 contains the masks needed for
painting the canopy, both inside and outside, and a small decal
sheet for the kill markings. The scheme is Dark Green and Ocean
Grey on the upper surfaces, with Medium Sea Grey on the
undersides. Operational conditions were hard on these kind of
aircraft, but Typhoons were mostly well maintained by their crews.
Keeping this in mind, I started the painting.
