Re: Shark-Mouth-Theme GB
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.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?

With the old AirCam "Sharkmouth" book in hand, a big cheesy grin to the affirmative here.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

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

There's a Sherman, an E8 in Korea I believe, with teeth; I don't have an image handy but it exists.Brews wrote:If you can find a vehicle baring teeth, it's in AFAIC. I might paint some jaws on a Star Destroyer
Could open the GB to all classes. I'm sure there's a few ships with teeth, certainly one could do a model shark ....

Re: Shark-Mouth-Theme GB
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 ?jRatz wrote: I'm sure there's a few ships with teeth, certainly one could do a model shark ....

Re: Shark-Mouth-Theme GB
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.jRatz wrote:

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. You guys with the green letters have the power to make it happen.
Just sayin is all....

Re: Shark-Mouth-Theme GB
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.
