Italeri 1/48 F-7F 3N Tigercat


Recommended Posts

With;

Quick Boost - Undercarriage Covers & Gun Barrels

SAC – Undercarriage (which I lost part of then found it a year later, I didn’t end up fitting them)

UltraCast – Props (kit ones are backwards!!)

This was a build for the Splendid Cats GB, but with big changes in my work shift roster meant it wouldn’t get completed in time. So she sat near the box of doom until I was reminded about her by an interested member, so I figured I’d try to complete her.

The big challenge for me was not to damage or change her finish by clear coats, the finish you see is weathering of the base black colour. I eventually found/tried some paint masks which I haven’t used before. So the only decals used are the identity numbers/letters and warning markings.

In the end I fell in love with her again and am really glad I finally finished her….even if she’s a bit late for the GB! Now I just need to finish the Ta-154 to go with her!

Here is the link to the build – build link

Nice one Rich. Although I see some holes in the underside of rhe wings. I think these are for rockets?!

Cheers

yeah i'm still tossing up whether I'll fit them or not, may just fit the empty pylons.
