Very good.

Statistically the Tiger will almost certainly survive

Cheers

Ok started this today. I know they are both simple kits to build but i've had to do some work on the Typhoon

View attachment 47126 View attachment 47127 But they only have the fixing for the bombs , and i wanted one with rockets so i borrowed some from a beaufighter i have in the stash

View attachment 47128 View attachment 47129 So i had to do some work on the wings

View attachment 47130 Taped up View attachment 47131 Cut off View attachment 47132 and filled

The canopy was just clear no markings to mask to so just whent with the box art View attachment 47133 View attachment 47134 View attachment 47135

Not a great deal done but still working on the Pacific SIG and i'm in the GB moden armour as well

[Guest]

I have a feeling the Tiger's in for a rough time.... Looking good so far, Ian.

 

[Guest]

Ooh, my favourite aircraft and AFV in one dio, Typhoon and Tiger together :woohoo:

 

[papa 695]

Hi Andy don't get too excited its only me building the diorama

 

[papa 695]

Getting close to finishing the two main characters in this diorama. I'm doing the Typhoon in flightbut the tail wheel is only as standing not tucked away as in flight

View attachment 47613 View attachment 47614 View attachment 47615

so i had to do some thinking and that hurt But i came up with an idea

View attachment 47616 View attachment 47617 Cut it in half View attachment 47618 View attachment 47619 I think it looks ok

so now all the decals are on and kleared some weathering to do and some major work on the Tiger but i thought i would show you all before i start playing with it
