Spotted this 'digital tiger' Tonka ECR in an article on the 2010 Tiger Meet in Airfix Model World.

Wonder where they got that idea??? ;D ;D ;D

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.

While rootin' through some boxes, at the back of a closet, I found these old pics. They are crap photos, taken with a cheap, crap camera.

Time: May, 1981.
Place: Edmonton Municipal Airport.
Sketchy charactor in last pic: Me.

Pictures need not be perfect to be cool and very appreciated  :thumbsup:

Not really a Shark or Tiger but neat none the less.



And a nice build of it using the 48th scale Testors kit. In Spanish but the pictures tell the story.

Right it's got me beat. At first I thought it was a Soviet Junkers (the corrugations), but no. I've had a quick look through my Encyclopedia of Russian aircraft and whilst spotting a couple of possibles the engine positions are wrong, so over to others.

Possibly 1920's or 30's, Dutch maybe?
