f5guy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Hi everyone, I just finished this one off today. It's the AFV kit with Furball decals. The scheme is the USAF's "New Blue" scheme borrowed by the Navy for a few of Topgun's Tigers in the late 1970's. I wasn't too hot for the pattern and colors early on, but it grew on me, and now I'm quite happy that I modeled this jet. You've got to love that AFV kit too.... what a beauty! And Furball's decals went down great as always. The only aftermarket are two Wolfpack late series ejection seats. The kit's cockpit is just fine for me. Thanks for looking, Fred.

ST0RM Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Smooth looking Tiger, Fred. Yeah, the scheme just screams 1980s. Like when the excellent color Superbase books were out. Great job. -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomthegrom Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Thats a beauty! I think the instrument panels in that afv kit are some of the nicest oob. Such a good looking adversary scheme you have there. I have built and 80s and a 90s adversary, have one from the 00s to go to round it out. Such a fun kit to build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That AFV kit is such a fun one to build, and really doesn't need much more than a new ejection seat. I've built ten of them now, with two more currently in the works, and another 20 in my stash. One can never build too many aggressors! Take care, Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
