    What next ? You decide

    Hi all , with the Thunderchief nearing completion and the polikarpovs done I want to get started on another build but having narrowed it down to three cant make up my mind . Theyre all equally interesting in their own way so I’m letting the collective decide . Which one gets your vote?
    The choices are - AMT 1/48 f7 f-3 Tigercat , Arma hobby Hurricane mk1 tropical ( which will be done in the brown and green RAAF scheme) or the Arma hobby Fokker EV .
    I’ll let this run for a week then the one with the most thumbs up will be done Click image for larger version

    Given my tastes, it's got to be the hurricane

        I’d go for the parasol EV, don’t see many of them built, and I have the Eduard one in the stash!

            I think Tigercat. Don't recall ever seeing one built in any forum I've been on.

              Tigercat for sure. Purely selfish reasons though. I got one in the stash and hopefully, if the doc can find summat to help with my shakes next month, I'll be looking for a nice simple build to start with. This looks fairly simple without needing 83 colours and 23 rolls of masking tape to paint - and only a handful of decals instead of the usual 47 zillion which most 'planes need nowadays! I do have a couple of others in the stash which I'm considering though.

              Edit. Just checked and found I have the 2/2N version. Is that going to be basically the same?

                  Cat!
                  Hurricane runs a close second mind.

                      I'm in for the Tigercat too, Tony ; it is an unusual subject and the monochromatic livery is a challenge (for me, at least...) and like Dave, I must admit a drop of selfishness in my vote as I have an Italeri 1/48 P70 on the shelf, whose main aim is to become a testbed for my "all black" painting skills.

                          I think so dave , the same shape nose as the f-3 , i think it was on the later f3 nightfighters that the long droopy nose was introduced .

                            Hi Tony
                            All good choices but I would vote for the Tigercat because, as others have mentioned, I can't remember seeing one modelled.
