I don't post here very often as my what if output isn't very high but I thought I'd show my latest flight of fancy.
For the past couple of years I'd been thinking of building a Tiger tank with tiger stripe markings so, with an Airfix Tiger I sitting in the stash I made a start on it a couple of weeks ago. As it was getting stripes I decided to add eyes and a mouth from an old Airfix P-40 too. < The stripes turned out better than I expected and the mouth fitted OK after a bit of trimming to size.

Neat work. It does looked slightly surprised by something though, wonder what ? ;)
There is a kit of a Korean War Sherman with a shark's mouth, so not far fetched at all.
