YES it will tim but my mate paul was thinkin of building her with the chopper flight deck on before he met me last year so he is now doin just the gun cruiser to be different but to help him build his ship he bought the tiger like mine in 1/700 scale so as he is not now building my vershion he has given me the kit so i may go from one end of the scale to the other an do a dio build with the small tiger all at sea so if i do that then i'll be askin you guys how i go about makin the seascape as it a water line kit
chrisb ps i was thinking of doinin hms clyde in 1/48th scale but with my age an health i'll have good think on it cheers Tim atb
