Ranwers - that is amazingly good for a first effort! I assume the FM is still the Tempest's and that the hispanos operate to the usual parameters. (This is an in-game shot?)
Ideally, the fuselage would be shortened slightly ahead of the cockpit by a scale 20 inches - Hawker extended it at that point to accommodate a fuel tank for the Tempest. I think that's why the cockpit looks too far back.
Re the undercarriage, the Typhoon did not have telescopic/extending legs like the Tempest so they need to be altered. And for tyres you might find the Blenheim or Beaufighter's wheels almost identical to the Typhoon's.
Anyway - terrific first attempt!
