HI Garry cheers for your comment as i dint think it was gonna be a gooer as to how badly things fitted in this kit but i love a challenge an thank goodness i do as really im amazed how its turned out as a small kit like this i would normally build in a couple of day but as i fitted all the extra stuff to the kit it took me nr two months as some bits could not be carryied on with till something eles is done an then the same again on something else anyway have you heard anything of your plans yet ? AN HOPE you are well

HI Rick my man im sorry but no can do on that crane for several reasons the main first is that ive used up 13 channels on my R/C so only one channell left an two as you say its about power as to make that crane work would take three servos one to turn the crane an two to lift the jib up an down an three a servo to wind the cable up an down so no go im afraid an plus all these motor launches on the deck between the funnes is right where the hull jiont is so theses motor launches will have to be wired all togeather so i can lift them off the deck easily to change batts an to half the ship i hope you understand as there is a limit to what can be made to work an not
ATB to you sir an hope you are not too dissapointed

AN hi Rob im glad you are likeing the tiger build as patience i have plenty of but skill well there are a lot more skillfull modellers on here than me but its nice to try an see how things work out as regards that seaking i thought it was goin to be the pitts so i have had another lot of motors to fit in the airfix chopper in case this one dint turn out very well but i must admit it has amazed me as well but i think it was the decals that saved it
CHEERS for lookin in on the build

AN hello Peter yes the seaking has turned out trumps as how it was when i was building it i had hair at the start of this build but now only a few strands left lol an yes it was a good end result but i dint think it was goin to be as ive only had one other really dissappointing kit like this an that was that K/H JAG
BUT thanks for looking in on the build as its nice to know others are likeing what im doin
