tigger Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 HI Guys thank you all for the kind comments Enjoy that trip to china John .... Beautiful build - superb weathering , and a brilliant build - as ever As for Telford - I'm a no show again , Dammit ..... :angry: , but have a great time ! Nice thought Graham. I tried last year with my Yak and didn't get a look in with that, who knows what the judges are looking for. I did have the sponsor come up to me after the prize giving and mention that he thought the Yak should have won it!! Real shame you can't make it to Telford. I was trying to get to the Bondese show but alas I managed to convince the boss AKA MRS TIGGER that we should have a trip to the USA next year and end up in Virginia Beach in early August so no Bondese IPMS USA Nationals instead!! Yak 18 John that's a really great looking build...now if only a new tool 1/32 would come around... HI Dave I totally agree with you there I wish Trumpeter wouls scale this beauty down I will be mentioning such in my review too Great looking IIC!!! In one of my favorite sceme's, too! I am going to have to get that kit!!! HI Ray I can thoroughly recommend this model and the price seems to be falling too so hang on a little while and grab yourself a superb bargain. By the way Cammet are doing some etched parts already for the 1/24 scale Hurricanes. Hi Tigger, This is stunning work. I have never seen a Hurricane in such a interesting scheme. Really nice. Thanks Ian HI Ian I was a little stuck with the scheme. to tell the truth I had three seperate colour reference guides all of which contradicted each other. In the end I went with a little artistic license. I could not find any photographic reference either so I think I might have got away with a little interpretation of my own. Tigger. Don't forget Guys if you are going to the Nationals let us know if you are bringing along some models in time for Iain Ogilvie to make up some name plates for them. We have 12 feet of table space to display so we need models for display. If you cannot bring something them pop along and say hi to us as we get lonley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Awesome! I have the same kit. I was mulling over cobbling together an SEAC bird, but that desert scheme w/the mottling is too good to pass up! For some wierd reason, the Trumpeter plans misidentified it as a "1944" aircraft, when in fact it should have said 1942. This aircraft was also credited with shooting down 6 X Ju-88s during the Alamein battles. Great stuff! Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 HI Relly looks good. Great job. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 That is very nice - makes the hurricane quite 'sexy'. Always preferred any scheme on these other than the classic BoB! Catch you at Telford - I'm going to do both days this time. Haven't been to a nationals since they were at Stoneleigh. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
