Re: OT's Political Tiger
Thanks Tim. I got the camo pattern on yesterday.
Just need a coat of Klear before applying the decals.

Re: OT's Political Tiger
Decals going on:
I will add a few stencils to give it a bit more of a 'Lived in' look and paint the nav lights etc.
Also started working on the missiles and drop tanks. I'll need to scratch build the Sparrow launch rails as they are not provided with the kit. Nor are the Sparrows.

That has to be one of the best looking F-20 i've ever seen, simple but effective! Beautiful scheme!!

Just a quick update but no pictures I'm afraid. I've not had much bench time this week but have plugged away at the Tigershark as best I can. The decals are just about done. I'll give it a final coat of klear tonight and finish off the U\C. Then its just fitting the stores which are painted but require touch ups.
I'll try to upload some images later today or tomorrow.

Re: OT's Political Tiger
Thanks guys, its been an enjoyable build so far. Here are a couple of images of where she is up to:
U\C and wheels are attached as is the jet exhaust.
What do you guys think, should I go with a Matt finish or maybe Satin?
