barracuda67 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello The Fonderie Minature kit is great as long as you don't try to build it.😆 There is plastic with beautiful fish skins, resin, white metal, vaccu, photoeach and decals. I was almost ready to smack him against the wall a few times.🤬 Thanks for looking and greetings from Switzerland Martin 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a damn good modeller (or magician). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODH2 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Beautiful. If any aircraft was screaming out for a modern rendition in 1/48, this is it. A vibrant new market for Airfix, before HobbyBoss or someone goes there. (What is that echo!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJP Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Looks like it was the usual FM challenge but you have done a great job on it - you don't see many FM kits in RFI here CJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Don't you just hate it when a model company produces a monster in a box? Nevertheless, your model is beautiful and replicates the real airplane very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcour Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Very good that you did not smack it against the wall, as it turned out to be a really nice model. Not so many F11 Tigers of this quality seen around, so this is a real eyecatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLover Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Wonderful! You did a very good modeling job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerMig Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Not an easy build, I know. I had to leave it at some point nowhere near the end. This is a good example not only of the Tiger but perseverence as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Great work on a kit I have put back twice onto the model shop shelves. You are very brave and a great modeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Every once in a while I look in the box of a short run kit and think EBay, and that's the end of it. But you tackled this and it turned out fantastic. Not sure why this has never shown up as a main line mfg kit but it should. Maybe the model kit gods required your sacrifice and now that you completed it we will see an announcement of one of these in the pipeline. I really appreciate the work required to achieve a superb model like yours out of the FM kit, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikitzer Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hello, everyone, Can anybody help me with finding photos of the F11F-1 Long Nose with the following units: F11F-1 LN with the VF-51 (July 58); F11F-1 LN with the VF-24 (Dec 58) or / and with the VF-211 (Mar 59); F11F-1 LN with the VF-111/ VA-156 (Dec 59)? Any pointers where I can find such photos? I saw some graphic images/artworks done on some of the F11F-1s with these units/squadrons but cannot find the photos that might be used by an artist to base his artworks on... Please help? And yes, we also developing the F11F-1 Long Nose kit: https://www.facebook.com/people/DBMK-Model-Kits/100084846155184/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 - It was a dog of a kit, it deserved better treaments by the kit industry, as far as I remenber the first and ony reproduction of this beatifull looking jet, was from Lindberg. Idon't remember if it was the short or long nose version- Owing to the period, the late fifties it could have been the short in Blue Angels colors I those days Iwas an inconditionnal of Buck DANNY - Yours is simply magnificent....
