I can't think of a kit I've built offering a shark mouth option that didn't end up with it, so that's a yes.

With the old AirCam "Sharkmouth" book in hand, a big cheesy grin to the affirmative here.

I'm in, assuming I have teeth on a sheet, somewhere.

I'm game on it sounds a fun GB.

Is it only fixed wing or open to anything with jaws? (Fixed Wing, Helicopters, AFV, Cars & Boats)

There's a Sherman, an E8 in Korea I believe, with teeth; I don't have an image handy but it exists.

Could open the GB to all classes. I'm sure there's a few ships with teeth, certainly one could do a model shark ....

The old Warlord comic about 1986/7 had a story about an E-boat and crew that had teeth painted on it, i think it was called the "Shark"; anybody else remember it ?

Can you resize that please, maybe 800x600 or smaller ?

Alas, that's the one I thought was a shark mouth, so forget that ....

Well maybe with some coercion you could do this tank. I mean if we go with the title Brews suggested "JAWS" (which I happen to like) that doesn't necessarily mean shark. It could easly mean the "JAWS" of a cat also! Personally I could go either way as I have a subject picked out already but I would love to see that Sherman built.

Another point to consider since this idea was derived from Merlin's thread entitled "Iconic Shark Mouths and other Toothy Grins". His third photo in the set was of a Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat of VF-27 from the USS Princeton. That was no sharks mouth on those Hellcats. :mrgreen: You guys with the green letters have the power to make it happen. ;-)

Just sayin is all....

The sharp, pointy teeth on the Hellcat were apparently representative of a Hades-residing feline.
When I started that thread, 'teeth' were the dominant feature, so, for example, the Airfix Roland wouldn't count. ;-)
