Not entirely happy with it..., something just looks a bit `off` but quite can`t put my finger on it..

Oh well....., a `fun` Tiger next.

If there is something not quite right I'm not able to see it mate.

Very well done especially when you look back on the fit issues you had. :clap:

Nice one and an apt companion to the single seater.

Does the nose curve upward too much, or is the leg too long? Whatever, I like it very much.

Think you might be right with the nose curve going up to much? Profile just seems a little wrong when viewed at level height.

Luckily it`s not so noticeable when viewing it from above.

Also the canopy reminds me of the Matchbox 1/72 version for some reason. Looks a little too `tall` if that the correct word? But it is trimmed down as per the instructions so I couldn`t do any more.

Oh well.

Glad it wasn't just me as I thought it was my eyes.

I know from first hand what a bitch conversions can be but it doesn't detract from a superb build. Youve got bigger kahunas than me for doing that conversion :cool

That's a very nice addition to the ever growing 74 Sqn flight line.

Looks great to me! Considering the amount of work it took to get the new nose blended in and all, I think it looks fine :clap: :clap:

Cheers guys. :cool

It will have to do until someone somewhere removes their thumb from their bottom and actually produces a proper plastic T.7 in 1/48 scale so that all this conversion sillyness can stop. (Same goes for the EE Lightning T.4/5 as well....)

Excellent work and a great result. I'm not brave enough to take on these kind of challenges, you have done a great job on this one.

Si.
