Typhoon bow planes

[jevege]

Hi guys,
I'm building my 1/72 scale typhoon. What a joy but....

Thanks a lot
And enjoy building

Jack,

i have a set of very good planes, that show a lot of detail especially the locations of all the flood holes.
alan sure builts a great model... unfortunately there are some mistakes on detail.. mainly on the stern.. but easy to fix.. take a look at my picktures, and you see how i did it.
i can email you a set of plans if you like.. but it will be about 2 to 3 weeks before i get back on the computer, due to moving..
shoot me an email at dieselsubmariner@yahoo.com.. and i reply to you, as soon im back online..

in the meantime have fun
