OT's Political Tiger ***Finished***

A Whiffery GB for any type of model. Simple decal changes, mild surgery or major. But all must have a story to back it up, no matter how silly or unbelievable.
The GB runs from 15 Sep through 16 Oct, and your host is FredK.

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. :sad:

Glad you like it Zen.

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.

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?
