To be honest I only realized there was something wrong with the pylons when I dry fitted them, they just didn't look right! So I went back to the Internet to check the pictures. As Ian wrote the monthly fee paid to the providers is money well spent!

I am sure there are more wrong details on this model that I didn't spot but I can live happily with them :ha: !

Thank you all for following my thread, I really appreciate it! :-D
If you think I made a mistake or there is something to improve or correct I want to know about it :grin: !

I thought my F4 was bright but yours will out shine it.
Thanks Splash! I'll try my best to achieve a good finish but it will be very hard to match your beautiful F4 let alone out shine it!

I like the rounded blade because I feel it slips less easily when I use it since there is more blade that touches the surface, I use it to do most of my cutting jobs and also use it backwards to scribe lines. For more fine cutting work, like the masking on the canopy, I use a very pointed blade (and a magnifying glass... :ha: ).

Thanks for watching!

Cheers,
Eugenio

Sadly I have not been able to make any progress with my tiger as I had some unplanned traveling to do for my job :sad: .

I'll be back home tomorrow and I'll try to get as much as possible done in the few remaining days!
However I strongly doubt I'll be able to meet the deadline!

I'll post pictures of as far as I'll be able to get.

Cheers,
Eugenio
