Ahhhhh, heck.  I've been working on something way too similar for the COIN group build....how the heck am I gonna compete with that sort of paint-job, now?!?!   :banghead:

That is just staggeringly good!  Wow!   :wub:     :thumbsup:

Delicious and Nutritious.  Beautiful!

I can only see one serious mistake with the whole thing.  It doesn't say "Marines" anywhere. . . :thumbsup:

Zeke,
This is by far the best build that you have submitted... er, wait, it's his FIRST build he's ever submitted? All I can say is welcome aboard. It is a spectacular model very well executed. Let's see some more of your work soon. You're going to have most of the regulars "green with envy". :bow: :thumbsup: :party: :cheers:

Morning all and thanks for the kind copmments...:D
I just looove the Vietnam era colours and the old Tigercat was just sat there in boring old blue so I thought; 'what the heck?'

As for this being my first submission on here? 'fraid not oh whiffing type people, I've been in and out a couple of times before, just not for many month now...some of you may remember my other projects...





This was my FIRST post...





and yes, I know that this is just flagrant showing off, but sometimes you just have to, right?...:D

Talking about the Tigercat though, the tip tanks were from an old Tamiya P-47N, the fin has been cut down and a new rudder added of squarer dimensions and the nose was altered by the addition of a new radome courtesy of???...I wonder if anyone can tell me? A PRIZE to anyone who can come up with the answer...:D...and yes, I mean it, a real live prize!!!... :thumbsup:
well, it's not actually alive you know, that's just be cruel sending live things thru' the post

Hi Ian...good to hear from you again...even it is is with threats... :lol:
My thumbs however are safe from your violence as I keep them in a small shiny box in the attic, where they can't get up to any mischief. Little devils.
