Guys,

Well here it is, just about finished her. The paint is Deltron PPG Orange, Azure Poly Blue, Tan strip and the window and tiger strips are Metalic Gun metal grey. Tomorrow I shoot the Clear coat. It's hard to tell from the pictures but I took a Silver paint pen and dotted the bolts around the window. I was also going to paint the turbine silver but the blue looks so intimidating and aggressive that I'm gonna leave it blue.

Here is a side view. Tap Plastic made the lettering and did a very good job.

I see that the "Therapy" coming along quite well! If you need some Kellogg's logos, let me know, I'll see if my Sister has them on file. She has all kinds of Corporate and so-called "Swap meet" things that she can do on the Laser cutter.

Looks nice! Is that wood or fiberglass? What do you have under the hood?

Ron,

Heck ya, if you got a small Kellogg's logo or a Tony the Tiger on file let me know.

Prop that's funny. Thanks Don glad you guys like it.

Rcboatlover,

This little tiger has a Precision-in-Perfection .45 engine and pipe and is complete w/third needle. The hardware is all SpeedMaster w/the exception of the turn fin which I just picked up from Bryan at Rocket City Racing. So far the speeds are awesome, much better than my 1/8 scale with the CMB .67. PIP engines are really picking up and my sales are growing.

As for the hull it's very light weight fiberglass. I found a great way to keep the cowl down by using the Bob Violet cowl latches that the airplane guys are using. They are pretty trick and affordable.

Here is the link for the PIP engines:
