Here is my latest start, an Academy Early Tiger 1.





I realize there is not much to review, but if any of you fine folks have suggestions for this kit, I'm all ears!

Cheers

Bob, this is a nice kit, but if I might make a suggestion? The exhaust covers are a bit crooked and it might be a bit noticable on the final kit.
Please post more pics as you progress!

Hi Bob,

Is this the exterior only kit or AC 1386?

Thanks Vinnie, now that you brought this to my attention I'll have to fix it!

Arvin, the kit is the full interior job. It seems very straight forward.

Here is a pic of the engine, no paint yet as we are in the middle of a significant rain event...to damp to sling paint.




Cheers

I know, I know.....not much to see yet.

I'm really pleased with the progress I'm making

It's been raining for the last 3 days, what better way to spend the time?



As always, any advice is welcome!

Cheers

One thing i did notice is the starter guide plate between the exhausts should be angled more,you may not get the exhaust shields on if you leave it at that angle.
