replicant Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Hello Guys! This is to make Mike a Tiger II That is is the second one from 2004. I changed the odd 20 "5", the mouth and did some detailing. Code was changed from AM to AD hastily. Longnose was a shorter fun to build, because easier OOB (Sorry, i couldn't resist.) Tarmac is the same joke too.... Cheers, Thomas Edited January 5, 2018 by replicant dubbled pics 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Love the Tiger. It looks exactly like all jets I drew on my copybooks in school. Swept everything and a pointy fuselage. Why don't all fighters look like that? I built the same kit back in the days when I finished models. I even remember where I bought it. A toy/model shop. A Next store occupies the same spot these days. Edited January 5, 2018 by noelh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Have to agree with noelh – the Tiger looks just like the archetypal jet fighter. Superb model! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glatisant Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Long nose Tiger looks far more aggressive than its' short nosed sibling. Both excellent builds.The finish on each is superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Herewith the Blue Angels version - built in a motel room in Miami nearly 20years ago. Those decals on the underside of the wing were a nightmare. Reluctant to leave the backing sheet and prone to breaking up. One question - I was told the u/c bays were white - did this apply to the inside of the gear doors as well? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.prototype was a quite different AC with even shorter nose 2. Normally Blue Angel jets had blue covers and blue struts, white wells, lot of pictures which proof that, Museum AC are better no reference, look at the fake Shorty pretending a Longnose that was at times on Intrepid Cheers, Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The 1.prototype was a quite different AC with even shorter nose. That was what I thought but have not seen a drawing showing how short. I have a Tiger kit which I hope to build as the prototype. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
