tigger Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hi Guys I've been quite lately but here is what I am working on at the moment. Seems like I have become a reviewer of expensive resin kits by default! Anyway the model is very nice and goes together fairly well. I have had to replace some of the interplane struts. I will do all of the rigging later. The nose section will be highly polished metal. Hope you like her so far she is for MAi Tigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nice work John. I've seen this kit in the flesh and it is indeed mighty impressive. Doesn't seem like a resin kit at all. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro32 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Nice looking build! My father worked on them as a young apprentice at RAF Halton before the war. One of his favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 O.K. guys she is now all yelloew and the markings have been painted using the supplied stencils. The final shots are just before I applied the Alclad chrome for which I laid down a high gloss black base coat. Keep watching more to follow soon.

didiumus Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 WOW! Fantastic work!!! Quick and brilliant... You must be deft of hand to have painted it in the sequence you did and not break anything. I would have destroyed the model for sure!!

LSP_Ron Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks great! how did you manage to finish this kit in 11 days Also, how did you do the little turn buckles on the rigging? it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I figured maybe you'd appreciate a few pics I took at Duxford last Sept of the little brother to the Fury, the Royal Navy's Nimrod. If you've ever seen one fly, they are surprizingly fast for a bipe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ohhh Yeah... Nice one, John. (As per usual). I remember building a little Hawker Fury when I was a kit, that was good fun. Has lots of Hurricane-like bits on it, very cool. Great to see one in a bigger scale. Thanks for posting it, Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
