Thank you. This kit is out of box other than the decals.. I was experimenting with the weathering process.

Outstanding build Darren!! Excellent photos!! She looks beautiful!!

Thank you Rocat I had fun with this kit. Not to much flash at all and the parts fit very nicely. I did find out that the Italeri kit comes with the plastic tires instead of the melting ones. Best regards, Steve

Thank you vise101!! As this being my first Tiger cat with no research, one mistake I did make was the tail fins on the rockets should have been angled to 45 degree angles. I have three more to get it right

Thank you, I used the force, the good side!!

Hi, thank you for the kind compliment. Yes they do come with markings, which I might use on a different build. Thank you again, and have a very Happy Thanksgiving. Best regards, Steve

Thank you Joel. I would love to do another one but with a different civilian paint scheme or a made up scheme. The kit is a little expensive so I would have to save up to get another one. Thank you again Joel for the kind compliments. Have a Happy Thanksgiving. God bless, Steve

Thank you and love your caption!! Robert Duvall is one of my favorite actors!! I also liked him in the Movie Falling Down as a detective ready to retire. Best regards, Steve Cook

Thank you very much, your kind compliment is most appreciated. Best regards, Steve Cook

Thank you!! I really enjoyed the build and starting to have fun with oil blending. Hopefully I will get better at it. Best regards, Steve

Hope you like the way it turned out.

Thank you, I would try at least one with weight added, I do have three more kits. If it weren't for the box and drum disguise I would have had to go with the weights. Best regards, Steve

Thank you, I had fun building her up. Hope to do the fire bomber next. Best regards, Steve

I was actually thinking of cutting the hub off and applying it on the back side, but has already been shipped to Florida. That would have been exactly what I would have done. Steve

Thank you Mr Happy. I really enjoyed building this kit even though the props are backwards, I will get a replacement set. Best regards, Steve

Thank you Joel

Thank you, I will be putting in an order for replacement props. I can make the band for the prop hubs and I have plenty of prop decals. The person I built it for wanted me to not use any nose weights because the stress would have eventually warped the landing gear. I pinned the box and the 55 gallon drum and attach them to the rear section of the rudder so its not a tail dragger. There is metal landing gear available as an aftermarket set. I want to do the fire bomber version so all the goodies will be on that one. Thank you again for the kind compliment

Thank you Joel, I had fun building it, but I really had fun using the oils to blend the panels and add the exhaust. If you notice, on this kit the props are backwards. Here is a link for a good replacement set. http://obscureco.com/product_pages/OBS48003/OBS48003.html Best regards, Steve :O)
