Fifer54 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 It has occurred to me that a Tiger Meet could be a good subject for a GB. Not necessarily a Tiger Meet as such, but a GB of anything "tiger"-ish. I'm sure you know what I mean. Any aircraft from any nation's "Tiger" squadron would be eligible, and any tiger-associated (e.g. American Volunteer Group P-40) or tiger-named(e.g.PzkwVI Tiger, HMS Tiger, Grumman F11F, etc) model would also be eligible. (Figure modellers could model Tiger Woods(!)) Sunbeam Tiger, DH Tiger Moth........ What do you all think? Who's up for it? I'd probably build a 74 Sqn Spitfire, 'Toom or Hawk.

Mentalguru Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Weeel.. I have a 1/2 finished F-16 in the stash that is going to be a NATO "show jet." It needs finishing, so if a modern "Tiger Meet + Friends" G.B. could be organised, then I'm deffo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sounds like a Gr-r-reat Idea! Sorry, I'll get my coat! I'd be up for the GB though, with either a 74 sqn Lightning or a Tiger Meet Rafale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0M4ever Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I love Tiger Meet jets, I'd definitely be up for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoanRam Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 How about expandind this gb to all felids names or colours ? In such case, modellers of all genres could participate e.g: Airplane modellers: Tiger meet schemes, panther schemes, cheetach !! among with tomcats, hellcats, wildcats, lynxes, jaguars Armor modellers : tiger tanks, panthers, leopards Car modellers : jaguars, coogars, sunbeam tigers, nissan leopards, tiger motorbikes, Ship modellers : some body please help me in this area. SCi-Fi modellers : Thundercats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Morning all! Who would be interested in a Tiger Squadron / Tiger Meet themed group build? Mish, what do you think? I know the calendar is full, but first for 2013?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gajman Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm definitely keen for this one. I have sooooooo many tiger meet kits in the stash, it would be good to get a start on them. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Good idea to merge this one Mish and Gaz, sorry if I trod on your toes but I had not seen the original thread. But I think that it's a great idea and there are so many subjects that would look great so come on guys, anymore takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toes not trodden on, Mark, I realised that you hadn't seen the original thread, I just thought we should combine our efforts! Yes, it's a superb idea, and so many great subjects to go at! So, let's see who's interested so far: busdriver ollieholmes Gajman Deon Bandwagon106 techniquest TOM4ever Paul Mentalguru MadNurseGaz So we're 2/3 of the way there, only another five participants needed, I'm sure we could get those, Tiger Meets are very popular, and if we extend the GB to other genres by making it a "Tiger" GB rather than a "Tiger Meet" GB, I'm sure that more will sign up... I'd be willing to host the GB, and would like to suggest that as he came up with the same idea independently, busdriver might co-host. You up for it, Mark?

Mark Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) You up for it, Mark? Oh go on then.... I'd really like to do a 'History' of 74 Sqn RAF but that's too ambitious for a GB, so I'll just stick to a Tamiya 1/32nd F4-J(UK) and an Airfix Lightning. There will also be something modern and probably Swiss... or Czech. As for other 'Tiger' subjects, does anyone make a kit of this...? It was always one of my dream cars as a boy along with the Triumph Stag. 'Deer' Group Build anyone? Edited January 26, 2011 by Busdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulky Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 as im in the RAF ive seen a couple of tiger meets, but when i was on 230 sqn in northern ireland this scheme was dreamt up by a techie and applied to the cab. Only downside is that we had the clean the bugger a bit to keep it clean anyway here you go, cant find my pics there on an external drive but heres the airliner.net one, ill try and post mine later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speckled Jim Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think I'll do an old Puma in Tiger Meet scheme, not the 2005 sure there's another one kicking about that I saw in one of my many books....I'll likely need to bother Parkes models for the special tiger decals unless they are commercially available.

Basosz Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd like to join this one with the Volvo 240 that was used for the Mini-Meet on Twenthe Air Base in the middle or late nineties. It had a totally chopped roof and no windscreen and was used to ferry pilots to and from their planes when they landed/took off. Now all I need is reference pics and a model of a Volvo 240... if I can find that, I'm in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
