It might be better for everyone if the pics you're posting eatthis, were sized smaller.  I'm viewing the forum on my 32" monitor and I'm still having to scoll back and forth just to see the pics, don't know how other people are handling it ----

Ctrl - to shrink it, and Ctrl + to expand it. Then Ctrl 0 to get back to where you started from.

Someone posted that tip on here a while back, very handy.

And if you have a wheel on your mouse you can hold Ctrl and move the wheel, forward for bigger, backward for smaller.

This year, there was a Tiger Meet scheme in a slightly unusual style:

Just WHAT were they smoking before they drew that scheme up???  ;D

I wonder how long it will take for that to be available as a decal set?

Yup, cheers gents
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

This one attended Waddington Air Show earlier in the year.  I took some pics of it on each side and from the front (they had the canards fully deflected to show off the artwork) but my computers had a fit and I can't access to the files at the moment.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

For sure it would be a real bitch to do as a home printed decal. It'd need at least two layers, one white based and one clear based.

That's one Tiger I would love to see in person! I was hoping to see it at one of the Czech shows this year, but no such luck.

It's probably one of the most original Tiger Meet schemes in a long while.

I actually would have expected the Spanish to come up with something like this; it's got sort of a Dali, Gaudi and Picasso vibe to it.

Reminds me of some of the Deutsche BA tail schemes the old B737's used to fly with in the late 90's ( a couple of which were an acquired taste me thinks) ;D

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Only a couple?  :o

All of the BA 'Ethnic Tails' designs were a giant step backwards in 'Airliner Art' to my mind. The exquisite 'Landor' design beat them all hands down, and that
includes the current 'Chatham Dockyard' design!
