Duggy09,
Thank you for sharing, I've added a post to the projects Facebook page explaining a few of the differences between the Typhoon and Tempest horizontal stabilizers that may also be of interest, they were essentially the same but with different washouts and leading edges.

A quick update for those following:
The Typhoon JP843 project has now been incorporated into a standalone company, Typhoon Legacy Co. Ltd.
Material has been arriving at the shop over the past month or so, we've started building forms for the radiator fairing frames and expect to continue working on this section along side the forward monocoque. Pictures will follow once the frame components are formed.
Quite a few important parts have been found recently which will help throughout the project, we are still looking for many small items to copy, a list can be found on our website. www.hawkertyphoon.ca

The Canadian Hawker Typhoon Project now has a new website name - there is an automatic re-direct but it is now http://www.typhoonlegacy.com/ to align with the newly defined Company name. The new logo will be displayed again soon, and sometime shortly, an ability to shop for logo labeled clothing will be available

Typhoon Legacy Co. Ltd. has now started a gofundme campaign to help raise the funds needed to complete the airframe of Hawker Typhoon JP843. Funding will be used for material purchases and specialised services not available in house (such as machining and heat treatment), for the cockpit section and wing. This funding will allow us to complete the entire airworthy airframe for JP843.
We would sincerely appreciate any help our project followers can provide in spreading awareness for our funding goals.

A quick update on some of the other areas we are working on for the Typhoon. Our focus over the past few months has been design work on the fixtures for the forward monocoque, radiator fairing, and cockpit structure of the Typhoon, work on the rear monocoque has also just started.
We have recently complete design work on the radiator fairing fixture, and the forward monocoque fixture is close behind. One of the most complex structures in the Typhoon is the cockpit section; and given that we have incomplete data, the process of digitally designing the fixture is dependent on accurately reverse engineering many fittings from surviving structure. We've updated our Facebook page and website with a few pictures of the work JP843 team member Nicolas Walter has been doing, these show some (ongoing) component design, along with some early design work on the fixture.
The individual component shown are items which have very recently been completed by our project sponsor, and will be added to Nicolas’s work to help with the fixture design. These items were reverse engineered using both 3D scanning equipment and a FARO arm CMM which were adjusted to account for the thermal expansion properties of the material being measured. Once the scan and CMM work were done, the data was combined with known data and tolerances before being built into a solid model ready for production. The techniques used for this process will ensure an absolutely accurate reproduction of the original design.
