hrtpaul Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 As this one has to travel 2500km to it's owner, there'll be no additions to the base. When I do another 1/72 Tiger I'd like to incorporate a tree or 2, a picket fence and a windsock with the base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrtpaul Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Hi peeps. I'm calling this done apart from the rego decals (from DamoDecs). I'm really stoked with how this turned out. There's a few things that annoy me about it like the twisted top wing But it's been a learning curve being the first biplane I've ever built plus rigging it as well. Oh and the first ever GB I've actually finished on time I'm still debating whether to take it up to TSV with me this weekend or wait till I have got the rego decals on but I hope the owner of the real thing likes it. There's be quite a few more of these to be built especially when the civvie Xtradecals sheet turns up. So it's been almost built OOB except for seatbelts. I've also drilled out the exhaust, added rigging and control horns, added the clear fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank and added the copper fuel line from the bottom of the fuel tank to the engine. There were also a few other things that I wanted to add but forgot about. That's ok cos I've got a whole list of things and details to add to my 1/32 build of VH-AMY when I start that the next time home. Hopefully I can get some more pics of her this trip up there. A big thanks to everyone here for their encouragement and help throughout this build especially Max with all his great pics. You lot are alright Anyways onto the pics Here you can see the twisted wingAll my 1/72 Civvie's so far Edited September 10, 2015 by hrtpaul 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgos Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 That's a really great finish Paul, she looks every bit as pretty as the real thing. I had to smile when you said "built OOB" except for "adding this, drilling out that, including t'other etc etc"......so not really OOB!!!! Well done indeed, smashing job and one to be very proud of.

hrtpaul Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks guys. Really enjoyed the build. I almost started another yesterday but I'll leave that for when I get home from work in 4 weeks. I'm gonna take an Airfix 1/72 Chipmunk with me to tide me over modelling wise till I get home. The next Tiger is gonna be G-ACDC from the Airfix boxing. I probably won't get that finished before the end of the GB though. I also wanna start my 1/32 AMY build as well but I have a few things to finish before that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Cracking models Paul, fantastic work, good luck with the Chippie fella too and the 4 Tigermoths !!! Well done on a super Tiggie. All the bestChris​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just popping in to say that the silver on your finished article (or on my monitor, from your pictures) looks absolutely lovely. I'll come back later to read through the thread properly! I've got 1/32 and 1/72 Tiggies too, but the timing just wasn't good for this GB, alas. Well done, bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
