Re: Craig's F11F-1 Tiger
That is a great choice. The Tiger has always been one of the best looking aircraft IMHO.

Re: Craig's F11F-1 Tiger
That is a good kit. I built that very model back in highschool and more recently the short nose version that Hasegawa released back in 2002. It had a resin replacement nose and new decals to convert the original plastic into a short nose bird.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Based on the time period, the Tiger would be carrying AIM-9Bs, the first generation sidewinders. Here's my short nose Tiger for comparison. The AIM-9B entered service with the US Navy in 1956 and first saw combat over the Taiwan Straits in 1958.
