oz rb fan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) my current project is a resin 1/48 Tigercat firebomber ..i have no idea what brand the kit is but it is molded in clear blue resin. 91021661_1229880497207320_5609081010579832832_n by paul sabin, on Flickr the original plane was going to be gear up as the undercarriage is resin...but on closer inspection it has a metal core so now it's going to be gear down as it's plenty strong enough. 91397519_1230067180521985_356650871624302592_o by paul sabin, on Flickr 91869134_1234631900065513_7327388934835535872_n by paul sabin, on Flickr it's currently in primer awaiting me to get the borate tank for it. 91976245_1234850593376977_4251531265238368256_o by paul sabin, on Flickr Edited April 9, 2020 by oz rb fan wrong pic 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafetyDad Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just a stab in the dark re the manufacturer, but the one piece moulding, plus the use of white metal, suggests an 80s Japanese manufacturer to me. Thrick perhaps? I'd be interested to know. Good luck with the build SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafetyDad Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Classic Castings did a 48th scale Tigercat. I had one some years ago - big beastie! The parts breakdown is different though, so its not that. Watching your build SD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz rb fan Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 i must admit when i pulled this out of the stash i was wondering if it was 1/32...till i got my AMT kit out..PHEW!!!...it's 1/48th....from what i have learnt over the last day or so it came from eastern Europe..it's not a bad kit...pretty basic but a great learning tool for resin models down track 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Wow, this is interesting! Did you add weight to this? IIRC, the AMT kit, recently reboxed by Italeri, is a notorious tail sitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
