Takamota Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) What an absolute blast of a job. Loved every minute of it. Three vertical stripes on upper wings are decals. All other stripes (black and white) were hand painted over the bronze colour which was Tamiya copper mixed with a few drops of orange to make it more gold in colour. Base was just a painted pine block with some more home made decals to make it stand out a little. Hope you like. Well, there she is. Thanks for looking and hopefully you liked.

scotthldr Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Very nice Tom, you must have one hell a steady hand to do the Black Tiger stripes freehand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VMFA314Knights Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat Tiger! - You did a beautiful job on that finish. Nice touch on the stand too with the tiger face. Are the decals available to do this kit in 1/48? I'd tend to follow your good lead and paint the tiger stripes. Cheers, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Takamota Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 No decals for this one yet im afraid. Apart from 1/144 revell kit. have to print your own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlimit Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Nicely done. I hope someone will make the decal for this in 1/48. Even for just the artwork in the wing will be fine. We can mask and paint the rest of the stripes. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
