Guest Maxim Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Great Review Brian! Almost enough to make me want to purchase one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Just to reply to the question related to HpH resin color, I can tell you they do not stick to a specific color (I have ten of their kits). Even in the same kit, you can find grey-green, light grey and medium grey parts! However, it is correct to say the last kits look to have more grey parts than the old ones, more particularly for the large parts.

Out2gtcha Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanms Kev! Thanks Thierry. That is kind of what I figured having not started building yet, I didn't know If composition of the resin had changed or not.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Excellent review! Very much from a person with a passion for this ac. Thanks so much for the effort. I too have been waiting for a Tigercat kit for a long time; an early Christmas present for me! Rick Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David66 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Great review, I'm going to have to save up and get one of these as the Tigercat is one of my own favourite aircraft ! Damned shame about the landing gear, was really hoping they were going to go for a set of brass u/c legs but hopefully Ernie at G-Factor will provide us with some of his superb u/c legs !

BloorwestSiR Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Nicely written review Brian. It's great to see your enthusiasm for the kit. Cant' wait to see you start on it. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks all! This one is in fact my all time favorite aircraft and legitimately, I cannot WAIT to start on it!!! Ive just got one little model on my bench atm, so as soon as I finish my little Japanese Ohka, I will be cleaning the bench and getting the Tigercat set up on it to start. I normally dont mess with my avatar, but I think it might change for the duration while I start on my beloved........ Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Nice job, Brian. Looks like a thoroughly well done, if not somewhat challenging, model. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks K2. I'm sure you are 100% correct, it will be a VERY challenging build. I fully expect this one to be a much longer build LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 great review Brian, really well thought out. Bummer about the nose gear though Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxim Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks K2. I'm sure you are 100% correct, it will be a VERY challenging build. I fully expect this one to be a much longer build Brian, I can't wait to see what you do with this kit. I think a temporary change to your avatar is the right way to go to celebrate the most desired kit arriving. It doesn't happen very often that your most favorite aircraft gets produced.
