Roger Newsome Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) I'm calling this one done. I had major trauma with the decals and the paint underneath is waaaaay too thick but I enjoyed it and learnt a few lessons. Anyway here it is.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Great looking Corsair II ... Normally not the greatest fan of Tigermeet models but this is one of the few exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally not the greatest fan of Tigermeet models but this is one of the few exceptions. Thank you. Well.... there's a story behind this choice of scheme. I bought this for less than half price with the intention of painting it in the Greek camo scheme. Being pleased with my myself I proudly showed my wife my bargain heading off the inevitable "What more models, how much was that?" The next statement took me by surprise, "You have to paint the tiger one." So what could I do? Buy another to do in the usual scheme, so much for a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Ive had that happen before with SWMBO. Sometimes i get stuck on a camouflage or markings option and ask SWMBO for her thoughts. Sometimes it works but not always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely Pig Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Looks good to me, then again I'm a sucker for an A-7. Just wish I could find a decent one in 1/48 with the correct shape intake... Great job Roger, saw your proposal in the wip section and hoped you saw it to completion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Roger, saw your proposal in the wip section and hoped you saw it to completion Thanks Lovely. Although I look upon aircraft as a sideline to my main hobby of figure painting I have two more Corsairs II's in my stash (the one that I said I would never have because I paint figures and only the occasional plane.) I must admit a 1/48 would be nice and the correct shape intake wouldn't be too much of a worry where I'm at in the hobby at the moment. I can honestly see it going that way though.

Lovely Pig Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 It.probably says more about me Roger. Returned to the hobby after 30 odd years have been lurking on here for a year or so. I'ver got feet in both camps, do I go with all out accuracy on my builds (as far as resources and my skills allow) or the other camp of "if it looks like like duck..." Needless to say if I can turn out a build half as good as you have here I'll be more than happy. All the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Don't get me wrong, I have the upmost respect and admiration for people who really go for accuracy and upgrades when building their models. I love seeing stuff on here that's had "the treatment". At the moment I'm quite happy plodding along enjoying out of the box builds with the odd aftermarket set here and there.

Mark4700 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I’ve not seen one in this scheme before and I’m not fan of the Tigermeet schemes, but this one certainly stands out. Very nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(kidding, each to their own) I have this kit in my stash, and I think you've done a great job. Here's a wee snap of my Tiger effort. Like yours, decals were "fun".....and I know I have the nav light colours the wrong way round http://photos.kiwimodeller.com/image/xMOC Edited March 8, 2018 by F1xena trying to link to photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(kidding, each to their own) Its not so much a matter of not liking a Tigermeet scheme. I just prefer regular everyday line jets instead of say Tiger-meet, Demonstration Teams (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows), or CAG Birds. That being said of course my Harrier thats almost complete is actually a C.O.’s Show bird. It just so happened the decals of the standard line harrier i was going to use were no good. So i fell back on a show scheme. But as you say each to there own 😉. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
