Hi, Thanks for the info from the pics/diagram it looked like 6 AA guns I assumed 4inch or 3inch ? :? :? :? :? :? As to my plans for a rebuild Tiger, I'm not sure I can justify a full rebuild on cost grounds (Kongo style :shock: although I would like to maybe draw a proposal by a greedy shipbuilder :...

Sadly I cant find many pics (thanks to Colombamike for most of them)(and why are they all of the wrong side :twisted: ! and at 45ish degrees so hard to get stuff lined up) so not sure about how much more detail to add as its going to be very much just hoping its symmetrical when it probably isn't ( ...

I don't see the point of the all the armoure/TDS as I don't think it will not realy protect you Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship): 1,029 lbs / 467 Kg = 19.8 x 4.7 " / 119 mm shells or 0.4 torpedoes so the ship will sink anyway even if the vitals survive ? and is your ...

The one change I would recommend is the canvass railings on the forward superstructure should be recolored if they are in fact canvas, if they aren't they should recolored anyway. Is this a shipbucket standard ? the pics for later tiger show the canvas as grey (painted ?) so I swapped them to that ...

Since it has been a week just to say I'm working on a 1928 (as more pics) Tiger and maybe a later 1934-39-45 (mild or heavy upgraded ? kongo with queen ann's or just a cheap/rush job ).
RL/work has slowed me so will be weekend /next week before I post.

If anybody knows any other good links feel free to offer i...
