Chris/Germany Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ah, Tigger, that´s a nice one!.................but unfortunately no kit on the market, right ? ( sorry, I´m no Hel-freak.............although I plan to do one or two for the GB too................is this a Gazelle?) Would be great to have you at the show, feel free to contact me for any infos you need. cheers Chris "the ripper" Novak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 HI Chris, Yes it is a Gazzelle and the idea was to convert the Monogram 1/32 scale Blue Thunder which is a kit currently available from Ki tech. This model was of the Blue Thunder which in its self was a conversion of a Gazzelle. I was intending on converting the kit back but in reality there would be very little of the doner kit left when completed so iof you allow a major conversion then I am in!!

LSP_Matt Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Go for it Tigger. The rules are pretty much constrained to must have participated in a Tigermeet. When isn't an issue,nor does it matter if its a scratchbuild. What a fantastic project...will love to see you craftmanship hit this one up. I'd definitely be bringing the other Tigermeet builds as well...great idea. Cheers Matty PS I tweaked your title so you'd fit in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 O.K Guys back o track now. I am still working on the Fisher Sea Fury but have started to plan the Gazelle out. Here is the donor kit. Still available from KI Tech, this was released years ago as a Monogram model . It is kind of ironic that I am going to convert a model of a conversion back to the orignal aircraft it was converted from! These kits are readily available from Ebay. I bought this one from Hong Kong for about £10 including the postage. This is the kit contents. This is the engine area which I will probaby use as a basis for detailing. Here is the tail which is the other part of the kit which I will use. Finally here is the G-91 I will have a go at too. or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
