The Typhoon PD521 build is a lovely tribute to Wg. Cdr. Baldwin's No. 146 Wing machine, and the Monogram/Revell kit looks great in the Ocean Gray and Dark Green topsides over Medium Sea Gray. I particularly appreciate the cockpit work with Tamiya XF-71 and the careful decal treatment with Micro Set and Micro Sol, which really settle the markings into the panel lines. The weathering with pastels and pencils gives the airframe a convincing operational look without overdoing it. A handy extra reference I kept open while reading was https://kickthebuddyapk.app/.
