More tigercats

[tigercat2]

As before, slightly different angles.   Taken on Mrs. W's kitchen countertop, it was doubling as a 1/72 parking ramp!!

That grey one...it isn't...yes it is indeed a...

T-Tail!


Don't look, Baz! Don't look!!!    

[tigercat2]

Better picture of the T-tail 'cat.   I just thought it would look cool with a T-tail, extended nose and wings.  This was done in 1978, and the model has held up pretty well.

Beautiful stuff Wes.    Ever thought of putting turboprops on one?

[tigercat2]

Great idea on the turboprops!!  Don't currently have any kits in my stash that could be used to donate turboprops, but I suppose if I ran across a C-130 kit or C-160 real cheap I could salvage the turboprops.  Any suggestions for other "doner" kits that could be used?

Yoiks, you askin' me? I'm just getting back to the glue tube after a few decades hiatus, I ain't up much on what's around. I do know that there are after market ones, a company called Engines and Things does quite a few but they can get expensive. Still, probably not more expensive than buying a kit just for a few bits. A pair of big, mean, Allison T56's would look sweeeeeeet!

I haven't taken notice of what scale your beauties are in, and what model company they're from. I'm guessing 1/48th?

[tigercat2]

These are 1/72 scale Tigercats - all are Monogram kits.  This Monogram kit is from 1967, and is one of the best kits they made.  It is really a little jewel, and a great review of it can be found on:

I have a P-3 that doesn't have its motors mounted yet.

Guess I could try to resin cast a few for ya..........

[tigercat2]

Thanks very much for the offer, but I don't beleive I can get around to that for a while.  Besides, I'm out of Tigercats, and they are increasingly hard to find.

[Ollie]

No idea buddy!

Lemme check, I'm going to that shop next week (that's the plan) and I'll report on the prices.

I think they are around 12 canadian pesos.

[Captain Canada]

around 12 canadian pesos.

Hey now, at 83 cents US and climbing..........

All the world should ( be forced ) to convert to the almighty Loonie !



And I had a nice USMarines TC in overall gloss blue........but I can't find her !  

[Swamphen]

I checked yesterday, there were a dozen or so on eBay...

If you wanna go bigger the AMT 1/48th is pretty easy to find and a sweet kit.
