Compact 1/72 Hawker Typhoon MK.1B Model Summary

The Academy 1/72 Hawker Typhoon MK.1B kit offers a compact but faithful representation of a WWII ground-attack aircraft. The model highlights the Typhoon's notable airframe and service role, making it a solid choice for builders interested in wartime aviation subjects.

Fit, Finish and Parts

Expect a rewarding build with parts that slot together to reproduce the Typhoon's distinctive lines. Scale detail is concentrated where it matters, and the decal set supports several marking choices to personalise your finished model.

Collection and Display Advice

Finished models display well on narrow shelves or in cabinet displays alongside other 1/72 kit subjects. Its low-profile wingspan and compact length make it easy to integrate into mixed-era collections without taking up much room.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Included
Basic modelling tools suffice: sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, and plastic cement. An airbrush or fine brushes improve paint coverage but are not mandatory.
Panel lines are scaled for 1/72 and provide a good guide for washes and weathering. The kit balances fidelity and ease of assembly to keep small-scale detail manageable.
Decals should conform well with the aid of decal softener on curved areas. Prepare the surface with gloss coat to reduce silvering and improve adhesion.
No adhesive is included. Use plastic model cement or CA for quick joints depending on your preference and the parts being joined.
