    Mmmm, are you sure there are the correct number of treads on those ladders! Only joking, top notch job mate, developing beautifully!

      Ask me how I know ? I now have two sheets of Pewter and two sets of liners for a wet palette !
      I can't even remember where I put the cupboard sometimes....

                        Yes i aggree Steve IN SOME WAYS BUT NOT IN OTHER WAYS but the navy wanted it to do the job of carrying 4 seakings which other crusiers could not do as they had at the time plenty of other ships with guns on but no seaking helo's for A.S.W An some of the boaty guys up NORWICH POND dont like to see the hangar an said it was better with the gun turret on the back but i must admit thats why i chose to build this vershion of tiger as its different an unusual an this vershion in 1/72 maybe the only one in the country as ive seen several 1/96 SCALE vershion but not a 1/72 an it gives more modeling scope to have the hangers all open an with lights an 4 seaking choppers on board

                          Greatly admire your work Chris, building from plans would fry my tiny single brain cell. Dragon plans are enough for me lol

                          The level of assorted skills on show is superb Chris, not just scratching, painting, electrics and electronics, amazing!!
