boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[Ian M]

WELL Ian both by the box top

Sorry Chris. These two came into service well after HMS Tiger was turned into razorblades. If you want it to be accurate, you need Or at least paint it as a HAS 2 Sea king. Yellow over all for an RAF SAR or the Blue and red fro a Navy SAR,
Just a suggestion

HI ALL WELL no update now on tiger as im stuck there are still severall things to do on tiger but im not happy to do them at the moment as im still waiting for this gun fire unit as the gent then says he has got it goin but as i said i wanted it to fire every 2 seconds or so he says he will have to rejig the sound generator so im stuck me own fault but i said every 2 seconds or so as the real guns were automatic an fired very quick so im havin a break from the ship an building another seaking that will be parked cross ways accross the flight deck well clear of the workin seaking but it in two colour scemes
no.1 is this camo which i like but will be difficult to paint unless i use a hairy stick [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1186054[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1186055[/ATTACH]

Nah Chris, That looks simple enough to mask out just use some of that drippy ass putty that worked so well for the guys on the "Mossie" GB. :thumb2:

Hey Chris
I just gotta say that I love everything about this build. ‘Stunning‘ doesn’t really cut it as an adjective! And what’s more, you can say that you created all of it. Scratch building something as complex as this shows real dedication and a lot of skill. Although i can see that you use kits for the helicopters. How lazy is that? LOL!!!
Tiger is really looking awesome now and it will be a real treat to see her sail with all the lights/electronics working.
Superb

The Committee are watching this closely, several members have said Yellow, but the others have insisted its CAMO, including Matron .

HI J/R an Matron an co of the DOGS commitee according to Ian one of our mods he says that the camo vershion was not in service yet while tiger was so no camo im afraid so if i can get the info an pics of the red an blue SAR navy vershion i will build that as it will be a different colour to the workin seaking on the flight deck now
AN BEST WISHES TO YOU John AN Matron AN CO

HI Ian well could you please show me the info an pics of the blue an red navy SAR SEAKING

Sorry I made a boo boo- the Red and Blue SAR was a Wessex.

https://www.historichelicopters.com/Pages/32/Navy-Wessex.html

but she does look nice.
If you want the Sea king she would have been Red/orange and grey but thing first came in service to late (again) Still nice but not as striking
Does look good in the Yellow though: https://www.historichelicopters.com/.../Sea-King.html And fits the time frame for the Tiger. (or Liger as she was known by the crew).

Looks like you have a choice of colors Chris......it can be yellow or yellow or maybe yellow if you feel like doing it that way..... :tongue-out3:
