Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Good morning everybody... I started this build quite a while back now. I was given an AZ Martin-Baker MB.5 Sea-Baker kit. I wasn't thrilled by the Whif schemes that AZ issued with the kit so decided to do one of my own. I opted to go with a Reno Racer based on the MB.5. I theorized that the RAF purchased a small amount of these to replace the N.A. Mustang Mk.IV’s post war until jets were good enough to do the same roles. One of the Squadrons to operate these was #74 Squadron. Lets jump forward to modern times and a well to do gentleman decided he would restore and modify one to race spec. In the end opting to go with a Tiger motif to honor the planes time in service with 74 Squadron, so I give you my Tiger. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. I will add a link to the WIPin case someone would like to take a look. A song to go along with the build. https://youtu.be/VCAw6s1rV-A Dennis Edited September 29, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 What a camouflage! This would have been quite efficient in a combat environment, too! Great build Dennis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Nice! Even the real prototype feels like a whif so it’s a great talking point piece. And your whif is as valid as the next man’s! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
