Just started working on a new WarBird design the Hawker Typhoon!!! I tried to use a few different techniques including: using no poster board, molded fuselage,
NerdNic speed wing, and formers.
Some history on the Typhoon:
The Hawker Typhoon (Tiffy in RAF slang) is a British single-seat fighter bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was intended to be a medium–high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the hawker hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement.
The Typhoon was originally designed to mount twelve .303 inch (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns and be powered by the latest 2,000 hp engines. Its service introduction in mid-1941 was plagued with problems and for several months the aircraft faced a doubtful future. When the Luftwaffe brought the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190 into service in 1941, the Typhoon was the only RAF fighter capable of catching it at low altitudes; as a result it secured a new role as a low-altitude interceptor. The Typhoon became established in roles such as night-time intruder and long-range fighter. From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs and from late 1943 RP-3 rockets were added to its armory. With those weapons and its four 20mm Hispano auto-cannons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War's most successful ground attack aircraft.
Some Info on the plans:
