    What a nice plane! Splendid weathering and all looking just right to me.
    Thank you for sharing this build - hope you will have some calm day with sunshine to get some photos outside. Are you planning on re-visiting the weight/balance issue, or will that be too challenging? - a clear plastic rod may be next to invisible in the cabinet, or perhaps a maintenance ladder strategically located by the tail.
    Congratulations on this and WELL DONE Michael.

    Spyros @fiveten like you said, a demanding kit and knowing the speed at which I usually move, the result is really satisfactory .
    Thank you my friend !

    Erik @airbum , the days that are suitable for photography are not missing here. I do not dare to move the heavy but fragile model for this reason alone. As for the tail sitting , if you look more closely at the second photo, you will see that a barrel and a wooden box have already taken on this "duty" .
    Thank you for your time !

    That is one beautiful Tigercat and you have done a beyond fabulous job with what appears to be a very difficult kit. You can be proud of what you have accomplished here. Thumbs up all the way!

    John @j-healy , thank you for your kind comments . The camera I am using is one Olympus E-410 (see picture) , generally a good in the category of camera, but which I wrong because of the haste and sloppiness with which I deal with the issue of photography .

    Tom @tcinla your opinion has a great specific weight and it counts very much. If you mean even half then I am very happy .
    Thank you !
