That is really a beautiful plane.
Just out of curiousity, what causes the orangish shade in some of the picts?

I think its caused by the lack of flash on some of the pics if i have the camera to close but i can hold the camera back and zoom in then i get a flash i think but if you ask the wife i dont think.

Might be on a natural light setting. If you have a setting for tungsten or fluorescent light light on the camera, that could correct it.
Like the progress BTW.

Those undercarriage bits look quite fragile, hope they stand up to the weight of the airframe with the extra weight on board.

The Tigercat was a tail sitter when the tanks were dry, I'm going to use the barrel to hold up the rear when I do mine.

Looking good, and I think those undercarriage legs could be stronger than they look - the weak part would be the main wheel axles.
The 'warm' colour cast in the photos is due to the colour temperature of the artificial lighting. As Andy mentioned, either set to 'Tungsten' or 'Natural' settings if your camera has them, or adjust the 'white balance' by focusing on a piece of white paper and taking one exposure. This should re-set the WB for the lighting conditions.
Last resort for most of us when we need to know the camera features, is to read the instruction book - I must do that some day, if I can find it!

Instruction book, there more like aircraft maintenance manuals these days and if you're like me you need someone to translate most of it for you.
Some real delicate legs on this baby!

Gloss dark blue was the order of the day for the "-2". Flat black for the "-N" version, however I would try to knock the gloss down a bit for scale.

I like them in dark gloss blue, but that is my thing. Most pictures have them in silver, with black and dk.blue coming in as seconds.
Looks like i need to get some of them wheels...jerry, check your propellors...I think they are the wrong way round...I read that they were moulded @rse about...so I checked mine, yep sure are back to front...

Could have cut them at the base and twisted them to the correct pitch. A PITA but can be done.

Sad about the props Jerry but do love those wheels.
