  Hi Steve,

       You can put these words with the pictures. Please feel free to edit as you deem necessary. I hope this is sufficient.

  Regards,

       This is the Academy 1/72 Typhoon 1B kit. It is built straight out of the box with the exception of photo etch seat belts. Assembly was straight forward and fast with absolutely no fit problems. I found this a far more enjoyable build than my 1/48 Hasegawa kit. It is finished with Model Master enamels. Weathering was done by dry brushing aluminum paint and applying pastels for exhaust staining. Water colours were used in the panel lines. Kit decals sat down in all the recessed detail wonderfully with only a little softener. My thanks to Uncle Rick of Uncle Bills Hobbies for taking the photos.
