Dansk Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) we’ve merged two gb ideas here: so The idea here would be to build a vehicle with a medium to large piece of animal inspired art on it. It has to be more than just a small squadron badge or an animal in a national insignia, think the B24; The Dragon and it's tail, or Me 110s with the big wasp painted on the nose, Stuka's with the large snake down the side or airliners painted up as sharks/whales etc Tiger Camo / Tiger meet schemes etc etc Me host @Brad host @Thom216 @stevehnz @TimJ @vppelt68 @desert falcon @Marlin @zebra @trickyrich @FortyEighter @CliffB @Jabba @Marklo @airfixpeter @exdraken @Beazer @Robert Stuart @Hockeyboy76 @nimrod54 @Anatol Pigwa @Bbdave Edited August 8, 2021 by Dansk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Would this cover Aggressors in tiger stripe camouflage, If yes then put me in ? Ive seen a few A-4 scooters in Tiger-stripe patterns over the years. http://www.hyperscale.com/2008/features/a4ebrowntiger48dwa_1.htm Edited December 28, 2020 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware this f/a-18 below wasn’t in a tiger meet but wore it’s special camouflage as it belonged to the ‘flying bengals’ unit. so that kind of thing shouldnt be eliminated either. (Kinetic does a kit of this incidentally) I will ammend the first post to reflect this. Edited December 28, 2020 by Dansk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Oh Paul you really do know how to tempt me! This idea has been proposed a few time since it first was I think way back in 2012.....when it didn't receive enough votes unfortunately. Since then I don't think it's ever made it to the voting stage. And that's a huge shame!!!!!! It's an awesome idea and there are just some amazing colour schemes out there. Strangely I've only built 3 before the current Tornado, but have a few in the stash. Is it's about time this one finally got through so count me in! Now we just need to go and round up some of the usual suspects to sign up.......or send around some "heavies" to help them sign up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Definitely time this one got some love. Count me in. I've got decals for a Canadian tiger-striped Hornet that are calling to me - the challenge will be waiting until this GB to use them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The "Tiger" schemes have been growing for me, so why not. Please sign me up, I'll do a Tornado or Eufi, or both. /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Rich, I didn’t know it had been proposed before but I guess it’s a natural GB theme. If @Enzo Matrix matrix signs up does that count for three entrants to the list as that’s probably how many he’d build? Q: Why do tigers eat raw meat? A: Because they don't know how to cook. 18 hours ago, zebra said: Definitely time this one got some love. Count me in.

I think this is gonna be a challenge build-wise too 😊 here’s another canadian candidate... 17 hours ago, Marlin said: The "Tiger" schemes have been growing for me, so why not.

CliffB Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I wasn't particularly interested, as I've nothing in my stash that includes a stripey scheme. However, now I look at Tiger Meet schemes through the years, there are plenty (particularly earlier ones), which should be relatively easy to paint on. That's the theory anyway. So please sign me up too Paul. Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortyEighter Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Count me in if this ever gets the go ahead - I tried floating this one last March and it got as far as 16 interested modellers. Will try to find my post in the Archives later. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Sign me up. Interesting idea - loads of interesting subjects to choose from. I'm sure I can find some good options in the decal stash. Then there are the ones I haven't got in the stash (yet). There are some brilliant options for airliner builders, like the ANA A380s and the Frontier fleet with the animals on the tails. Then there's this Yak-52: I'd love to have a go at this one, but the colour scheme would be pretty hard to pull off! Not to mention the tailwheel conversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I suppose you’ll get quite a few ‘Tiger Meet’ aircraft suggestions here Brad.. are they within the scope of this GB? Cheers..

Robert Stuart Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Does it have to be something with the animal on it? Or can the animal be the subject of the build - perhaps a figure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Some recent ones that I think fit (?) This Vulcan has Kiwis and Bats! Me209 with a big snake I finished yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeh sure, if you want to build an actual animal, I had not considered this but it does make sense and gives something for the figure guys. 40 minutes ago, Adam Poultney said: Some recent ones that I think fit (?)

Dansk Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 done @CliffBand @FortyEighter mike. Not sure this list will progress enough, seems like its floated a lot this theme and never makes the grade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Don't forget the Ventura with the octopus on it! 1/72 in Minicraft, 1/48 in Revell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's surprising amount of kits available for this. Can I count you in? There's also the Mig 21 with the swordfish down the side, several boxings of Draken's with Sharks, Bisons and Dragons on them, Stuka's and Fw 190's with snakes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I quite fancy doing this in this GB, it was going to be for the African GB but is slow arriving, so I've another for that. Guess which option I have in mind? Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
