Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
Here is my entry for the Tiger Meet. The Hobby Boss A-7H Corsair II
The Box Art
Parts photos to follow a little later on. Right now I'm at work and tonight I have my Fantasy Football draft. But for now here are a few photos of the actual tiger.
Thanks for looking

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
I hope the decals/paint-call-outs match the orange on the actual aircraft rather than the colour on the box.
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

That is a cracker of a scheme, like the flag incorporated into the scheme, never noticed that before.

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
Simply an awesome scheme. Will be interesting to see how you handle all those decals.
I might learn something.

Good choice of subject Dirk.
Maybe I'll get to see this model in person sometime?

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
I haven't had a chance to do anything with this yet other then pop the top and poke around. This weekend is a holiday weekend here in the states and a big one for my town. Parade, carnival and fireworks.
Hopefully this week things get started

Looking forward to when you start. I wonder how many (ehem.. few) of us will struggle with positioning of the decals.

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
A lot of us have some fairly large decals for this build. will be interesting to see how they all turn out. I will admit I'm nervous about mine.

Hi Dirk
The good news is it's a nice kit, only the normal HobbyBoss problem of very little cockpit detail.
I have another version 3/4 finished on the bench, you will enjoy it.
Regards

Re: Dirk's Got an A7H Tiger by the Tail
Thinks Splash. I just applied some Aircraft gray to the cockpit and bits. Should be dry enough for me to keep moving later on tonight.
Not a lot of different colors going to be needed for this one. Aircraft gray, Insignia white, and flat black.

Grrrrrrrrrreat. Now lets see some of that plastic stick together stuff going on.
