The reason I have been tardy in my photos

I had to put the Tempest build on the back burner for a couple of weeks in order to fulfill a request from a good friend of mine. Kevin used to be a pilot but unfortunately a bout with lung cancer and a compressed spine did him in. I met him through another forum where he was building models in order to keep him occupied while he recovered. Unfortunately all of the meds that he was on in order to make the pain bearable nipped that in the bud as well. He was close to cashing in his chips then one smart Dr. weaned him off of the meds and slowly over the next four years. He is a new man so-to-speak. While he doesn't model any longer he still likes a build up to put on his dresser and he chose this 32 scale Trumpeter A-1H in the livery of "Paper Tiger II" of toilet bomber fame. So I basically slapped it together because he was pretty anxious to get it home. He didn't want any ordnance or the crapper on any of the hard points because in his house things just seem to go missing.
This is how it ended up according to his request. I do hope that he enjoys it.
