        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 Click image for larger version

                          A question. Which would have been the most likely to have parked up on the real ship.
