A J Rimmer Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) I've been working on this cracking little kit for the past month or so - and great fun it was too. If you've not had a chance to build one, get one. Thankfully I have the USAAF P-40 and the RAF Tomahawk boxings too. 🙂 However I love the Flying Tigers markings on this build, which I think, is my first attempt at a shark-mouth. Brush painted with a mix of Humbrol and Citadel acrylics. not 100% accurate, but close enough given what I had in my paint stash. Clears were Mr. Hobby Super Clear sprays.       Cheers all, and thanks for looking in. Edited August 29 by A J Rimmer 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthias Muth Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 There was a Airfix Club Kit with three models with a red star, the Hurricane, the Spitfire and the Curtiss. Matthias aka modelldoc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even think I researched it . Many of my tigers have aftermarket decal sets and I blindly followed the instructions on both the Airfix instructions and the decal set instructions. Great question !  Randall Edited August 30 by SD45elect2000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted my writing was a tad confusing, but yes they should have yellow tips - I just forgot to add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
