Martin's Tiger Force Tempest ***Finished***

It doesn't half look like a Jug in that paint scheme.

It doesn't half look like a Jug in that paint scheme.

Now you mention it, there's definitely a similarity! I guess that's another good reason not to use the SEAC markings in the end.

Oh, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I like the old Thunderbolt.

Speaking of the stripes, what colour did you use for those. They're distinctly different from the wing root walkways.

Stripes were meant to be Roundel Blue. I used Humbrol 104, Oxford Blue, which seems to match the roundels quite well. The wing root walkways were Academy decals from their Tempest V and are very glossy. I will go over them with Revell 09 Anthracite to dull them down and make them less - erm - black.

Jeez Martin, that looks lovely, crikey I do like your metal finishes, top hole.

Stunning work an a sharp looking aircraft.

[Martin R]

Thanks all,

Slow progress due to decorating; however the dining room is now finished in time for Christmas so my wife is happy.

Steady but unspectacular progress; just got the canopy to fit and associated frame lines to paint and it's done. I hope to have pictures by tomorrow evening.

regards,

Martin

The holidays have taking away from my bench time as well. Tis the season I guess. I can't wait to see the finished Tempest

[Martin R]

And here it is. I'll put a couple more pics in Completed Builds, and thanks for letting me play!

Martin

Much appreciated, Bruce! It means a lot, coming from you. This is only the 10th I've finished in '11!

[Dirkpitt289]

Very nice indeed. I think you hit a home run with everyone on this build, Martin.

Well done

[Jagewa]

Wow!

Nicely done Martin. Reminds me a little of a P47N with the squarded off wingtips.

Good job.

[TimJ]

Great job.
