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 IMG_7702.JPGIMG_7709.JPG

Camo, camo, camo, accept the challenge, you'll love the result.
 
A question. Which would have been the most likely to have parked up on the real ship.

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

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
