Hi Ron. My boat is the refit hybrid one mate. I suppose from your perspective they spoilt a perfectly good cruiser, along with her sister Blake, they were the last ones in RN service. You have to realise that as with the advent of mature carrier warfare and the obscellence of the battleship, cruisers were made obsolete by the guided missile carrying Destroyer. In reality, had the Cva 01 carrier not been shelved by the Labour government of the day and the need for a interim helicopter carrier until the commissioning of the Invincibles, the Minotaur class cruisers in which the Tiger was one of, would have gone to the breakers yard years before. As a modelling subject, the Tiger and Blake offer something different, not unlike the USN’s experiment on their WW2 cruiser hulls. I’m hoping Bob, that the fibreglass hull is correct, I’m told that it is. Either way, it is the option I’m left with as the original plank on frame hull is unusable. Fortunately for me, the decking, superstructure and some of the fittings are good so I’ve a good chance of renovating the Tiger in to a decent version.
