AS In these ships there were 3 in the class an they were HMS TIGER the lead ship of the class an HMS LION an HMS BLAKE an only two of the class were made into helo carriers an they were tiger an blake but the auto guns had trouble as they were prone to jam now an again hope you all like the utube vid above of her

Chris, you're doing a heck of a job with this, and the ways that you're overcoming the challenges and small setbacks, is nothing less than amazing! Beautiful work on that turret.

Hope Jen is still improving as well, and give that fur ball a chuckle under the chin from me :thumb2:
