discussion Starfighter arrived

[Guest]

Well the kit I got off ebay last week arrived today with one key component missing that being the instruction sheet. Luckily I keep the instruction sheets from previous builds why I don't know I just do. What's the problem then I hear some say? The problem is apart from the box artwork I have no colour references. So it looks like I am going to have to spend a bit of time either sourcing the instruction sheet or looking on line for pictures of the actual plane. I could send it back and get a refund but as I didn't pay a lot for it I figure I may as well keep it. The original description did have it as new so I have contacted the seller in the hope it was an over sight on there part (maybe wishful thinking).

Shame about that terry , at least youve got the box top and the other instructions. As for the saving of old instructions , I do that too !! I think I do it just in case myself or anyone else might need them, i know i have bought kits from shows or off E-bay without instructions and had people come to the rescue after an appeal on here. tony

I am ok for the build it is just the painting I am scouring the net at the moment trying to find pictures of the aircraft. The only ones I can find are of it in camo scheme.

Thanks Si there are some great pics there I am looking for the 1991 tigermeet aircraft tail code 53-04 but am having trouble locating any pictorial reference to it in tiger marks. could be me and the way I am looking

This maybe out of the box for you, but have you considered doing your own paint job? Maybe a experimental dazzle motif, incorporating camo, aluminium, swirls and digital?

The picture of the dragonfly will be getting used by me for reference as I have one of them in my stash

Thanks Joe and Si I can make use of all these.

Having contacted the seller of this kit I have ended up with a real bargain they have pretty much given the kit to me for 75p.
