SMALL update on the seaking an as i said above i wont use that new airfix kit it will go in the hanger as there is no detail on the fusealage like rivets an such so im goin to use an unknown kit make that i bought for 50p off a car boot sale in a plastic bag an no instruction but ive got them already so no worryies as to me its got a lot more detail than that airfix an this was part built so here goes as this will be just a static model on tigers flight deck parked crossways at an angle just in front of the hanger doors in the all folded up postion

an it will be a qiuck build so not a lot of pics as its again a real dog of a kit as nothing fitted so i have been making it fit so plenty of filein an sandin down an i wanted the main door to work like on the working seaking so ive fitted some 2mm channel for door runners an it works ok open an close so i have a chiose of how it will be on the flight deck was thinkin of fittin an interor light in it but that means more exspensive 22 carat gold pick up so not an option for just one light an here main door closed IMG_7717.JPG
 
Thread owner
NOW here the main door open an its gonna be done in red an grey paint finish an firstly the real thing

HI ALL WELL that chopper was terrible so im not puttint on the build will just show a pic of it finished an my gunfire unit came today so after just finishin that chopper i'll then go back to the gun fire unit an working out how to fit in tiger but it a bit complex as ive got to rework the place where the speaker will be so that will take a while so here is a utube vid of the guns working by the gent who built it for me hopefully it will work on here an the guns an flash every 2 seconds as the real guns were auto


Regards
