Top ferkin class paintwork Boots ...! Those stripes look spot on
Better than decals by a country mile .....Rest of the builds not too shabby either

[robbo]

Keep it moving mate

[`Boots`]

Soz fellas....................this is still ongoing but a few personal issues have slowed me down somewhat, the other drop tank is done and so is some of the PE for the `office`......................the other prob i have is everytime i go to add some pics PB freezes my `putor ................until i can rectify this i can`t post any WIP pics

[Deleted]

Oh Sheepdip......and I thought it was a proper update!!! ;D

[`Boots`]

Soz mate...........i`m just as miffed as well!!!! , PB is absolutely shite in my opinion..............i`m always having trouble with the dam thing

[modelfreak72]

Nice stripes boots! I feel ya pain with PB, been given me a little headache lately too.

[`Boots`]

Thanks fellas ;D...................regarding PB it seems to work ok if i upload a couple at a time rather than the `Bulk Uploader`................it`s not great but at least i know it ain`t just me!!!!

Righto a very brief UD....................

Started doing some of the office (not the best pic in the world i have to say).....



The other drop tank masked up.......



And sprayed................thats the tricky/masky painty job out the way ;D



More office to do now and then i can fit and start cleaning up the fuselage

[Deleted]

I spotted the 'bleed' on the top tank,that you mentioned last week!!!

[`Boots`]

Ya got better eyes than me mate...................the top tank was the first one i did and there ain`t no bleed on that one ((( ;D )))...............but there is a miniscule bit on the lower tank on one of the stripes by the wing hanger thingy bit

[`Boots`]

((LOL)).................soz mate, thats twice this evening i`ve missed ya..................thank ya kindly CS, hope to get a bit more done on the office and then i can do the big bit ;D

[robbo]

Good to see you keeping it all moving Mark

[wouter]

Hiya dude, that's some nice Tigerstuff you got there. Nice cockpit piece and love the masking you did there!

Cheers

[`Boots`]

Thanks fellas, hope to get this moving a little bit quicker soon .....................i blame the PAGB ;D

[deafpanzer]

Dig the paint job on the drop tanks! Keep it coming...

[modelfreak72]

Nice work on the drop tanks buddy!

[panzerman75.]

Boots great job on those tiger stripes cant wait to see more

Phil

[`Boots`]

Mark.................surely not!!! (((LOL))

Andy, Pete and Phil ...............thank ya kindly fellas ;D, normal service while resume............`er.......shortly ;D

[AndyArgent.]

Excellent stuff mate.

[Deleted]

Great paintwork, said it before...say it again, this looks far better than any decal would

Impressive coverage of the black by the yellow too, what paint are you using?

[bbd468]

Man those drop tanks are nicely done man. Good stuff right there Bro!!

Thats some impressive masking work there Boots! I have always wanted to have a crack at a Tigermeet aircraft, but all that masking makes my brain hurt! Having said that, I have done a Tigermeet Mirage, but it was all decals and no real stripes to worry about, just a sodding big tiger on the tail. Will post it sometime...

My hat's off to you, good sir!! Look forward to more updates!

Cheers,

Sam

[`Boots`]

My deepest apologies fellas.................i`ve got so wrapped up in doing the PAGB the i hadn`t noticed the very kind replies , Eth i`m not sure about the two kits bud coz i know narfe all about these wingys ;D, CB is probably ya man too answer any techy questions LOL, i`m gonna try and resume this a.s.a.p, i keep looking at it next too me and going on a guilt trip................thanks very much once again guys

[Deleted]

No problem , when your ready Buddy, we'll be here

[Deleted]

Great work!

[`Boots`]

Ok fellas i been threatening to update this build for a little while now so here we have a small update on the completed `office`....................the PAGB has been taking up most of my time so i thought i would take a small break for the mo and concentrate on this fine lady

This is a first for me regarding using the coloured PE so be gentle ;D, i have too say i found this quite challenging coz me and PE hate each other ((LOL))..............so here goes









Approx two seconds after taking these pics....................i dropped it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All OK now tho ;D, the escaping bits were re glued and non lost thankfully

and here it is all buttoned up.............







Gonna leave this over night to dry thoroughly and then i can start doing the work on the seams on the fuselage..................needs a bit of work in places but no big deal............

Just as a matter of interest i acquired one of these flexi files off of Dicky and i gotta say they are fantastic, the flexiness of it allows you to adapt to the curvature of the fuselage itself..............well recommended i have too say (cheers Dicky).................it comes with various grades of paper from course, med and fine....... ;D



Thanks for looking fellas and ACW

[bullardino]

Great job on that office, Boots
