Robert Stuart Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 OK, looks like progress. That blutack (?) makes it look ugly now, but, it should look better when that comes off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 The F20 assembled and surprise surprise needs some filler. This I’d really the worst Airfix kit I’ve ever built. That’s not to say I haven’t built worse. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I feel you'll pull it together, despite the features of the kit, Took a look at Airfix's Tigershark kit's history on Scalemates, it seems we can credit Trumpeter with the original tooling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Looks like you are taming the TigerShark, despite the kit's issues. Decals soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, Robert Stuart said: Decals soon? Yes, and the black logos should be visible too I think it’ll build into quite a nice little model it just reminds me of the models you used to get as a kit by saving up cereal box tops and waiting seven to twelve weeks in the post. Although I remember getting an SR71 kit that way and afair it actually wasn’t that bad Edited September 11, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
