    Looking forward to this one Peter, and they're nice kits, the Hasegawa Typhoons. Let me know if you need any scale plans etc.

    wow, look at all the goodies...

    In the realm of dog fighting, if it's a fair fight... you did something wrong.

    Great selection Peter, I can hear the engine growling now. Will be watching this one closely.

    Thanks guys

    I thought I would throw up a couple of pages from the Model Aircraft Monthly mag for July 2009, that had a good piece and a couple of profiles for Sharky. There are two versions of MP197 based on pre VE-Day and post VE-Day schemes. The Aviaeology Decals have both options. I don't think I can decide right now which one I'll tackle, but if the group build is to the end of hostilities VJ-day, then the more colourful option might be the go.

    Enjoy

    Peter

    Good stuff Peter.The magazine article is a bit nebulous I think. On the one hand, the author is saying he believes the spinner is 'Night', and the 'lips' black, yet there is a distinct tonal difference between these two areas and the prop blades. I'd agree that the 'mouth' is probably the Dark Green camouflage colour, but the spinner certainly shows a different tone compared to 'Night', and I'd tend to agree with the profiles (and others I have) that it's blue in the post-war era. I also agree it would be 'Night' at least up until VE Day, but I also think there's a possibility that the 'lips' are red. As for camouflage compromise - it's already been done with the b l**dy big white teeth!!
