AREA 88: F11F-1 Tiger (Gary MacBurn)
I love these old Hasegawa "white" boxes. So nice to look at!
Not a lot of flash on sprues this old. Some parts won't be needed because the Blue Angels have no armaments.
The cockpit decals are nice. Added some weight to the nose, just in case.
Am I brave enough to attempt to mask and paint instead of use the decals? You bet I am!
The XF-16 Aluminium coat is done.. but no peeking until I do round two... the yellow!
Of course, to get a nice coat of yellow (especially over blue)... use X-15 pink!
Touched up. Wheels on. Time for Future and decals!

Sometimes a kit from the stash just falls off the shelf into your hands... best to just go with the flow.

No matter how well I mask… silver paint always finds a way… 😉
Not this time!

Well, looks like just a little bit of touch ups. I'm a bit surprised the masking worked as well as it did, actually. 😉

All put together now. Just waiting for the Future to dry so I can apply the decals.

The decals were pretty old, so I'm glad I did what masking I could. I kinda screwed up the "US NAVY" on the underside of one of the wings, but there's no pictures... so it didn't happen! 😉

Looks good. I wish some one would do a 1/48 version of that air craft.
