Gary West Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Further to my recently finished T-33 just added the finishing touches to this one too - AFV's Tiger II One scheme that epitomises the Cold war for me above many others was this known as "old Lizard" and one of several different schemes operated by the 527th TFTAS based at RAF Alconbury. Representing the late 1970s............ Into the ever expanding Cold War cabinet she goes..................... 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 very nice! flawless:) maybe the Sidewinder seeker head , although seem to be inert training missiles could be improved with some seeker representation (e.g. a silver tip) so many different schemes and camos then....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Lovely work Gary. A fantastic kit of one of my favourite aircraft and finished in one of my favourite schemes. I also have very fond memories of seeing these great aircraft in the wonderful colour schemes of the 527th and will be building one soon. Well done.

29Triplex Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Always love Aggressors!, especially the 527 TFTAS, of which I have fond memories of our DACT detachments at Alconbury. Cool build, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
