This is yet another of my little air/ground dioramas. The Hobbyboss kit is typical of their easy builds in that it's a mix of good and bad. What's good is the full load of underwing rockets, a choice of three- or four-bladed props, and a well thought-out undernose radiator. What's bad is the canopy which is a really strange slab-sided shape where it should be a rounded blister, and the decals which have a horrible shade of Sky and almost black roundel Blue.

Construction brought another problem in that the mounting holes for the rockets under the wings don't line up correctly. And of course if you want a wheels-up configuration you will have some fiddling to do, and you'll have to find your own pilot figure.
My typhoon is attacking an old Matchbox Kruppe Protz truck which is a nice little thing accompanied by a few Caesar Miniature German troops. And what's under the cotton wool smoke is anybody's guess.
