Popular Post tc2324 Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 My usual take on two `Tigers` on a practice scramble circa 1970 from RAF Tengah. Airfix 1/72 kits. First picture was my inspiration for the build. Thanks for looking. 120 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) That looks great, very dynamic! I love the dangling landing gear. Edited February 23, 2019 by Doc72 sh*tty smart phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoshea52 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Looks great, a skyline back drop would top it off to go along with the blurred runway base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 "Simple" (in terms of components, not necessarily realization) but very effective. Or, more viscerally, "Outstanding!" I think the blurred runway makes all the difference. Well done, that! bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_RAFBC Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just wow, so simple yet so realistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Superb. Very dynamic and a great natural metal finish on those Lightnings. What paint did you use? Wouldn't it be great if the Tigers flew again with Typhoon or Lightning II? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Mmmmm, Lightnings. Rather tasty, that wee vignette. For such a mighty beast of an aircraft, they do look somewhat ridiculous while the gear cycles, don't they? Like a booby (a fairly ridiculous bird) that can't work out its up from its down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Love the blurred runway and as another said a nice backdrop would've been icing on the cake for those side pics. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Superb sense of movement! One can almost hear the din of four screaming Avons… Extremely evocative modelling. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see such good results from a rattle can. Got a bit of a backlog of Lightnings and have been wondering which paint to use (Lightnings always look best in natural metal in my view). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
