Bombhead, are you certain about the stern's appearance below water? Shouldn't the rudder be further aft, in line with the sternpost and not the perpendicular?

Bombhead, I've just noticed that both HMS Blake, and HMS Tiger have trunking for the funnels. In fact HMS Tiger did not have those. After the helicopter conversion HMS Tiger also had higher funnels, but HMS Blake retained the original funnels-height. Apart from those tit-bits excellent work.

Thanks Bezobrazov and Novice. You were right there is some thing about this ship.Ugly but you can't stop looking at her.I went on one of these at RN Navy days,can't remember which one.

I love these ships and had two of Airfix's kits. So I do want you to make the sisters picture-perfect!:-D

The Matchbox one was a better model

Sorry for my (to?) late reaction...

some comments:

The box structure just below the forward funnel shall be flush with the stucture below, then ; no black line and no railing

What is the meaning of the triple line on the hangar ? is it painting? there is no "cut there...

The forward mast is not correct in "Tiger 1973" the black line is missing around it (dark grey lines instead)

just searching for the "perfection"

but nice work on these

I don't usually update age old drawings but you do have a valid point there MOSQUITO.Still it gave me a good excuse to redo Tiger with Sea Kings.

Ok, first of all, I have the Matchbox, not any Airfix models of the Tiger! Secondly, Bombhead, as far as I can tell, your version of the Tiger now looks pretty much like my version of the Blake, which brings me to my third point: your Tiger version is wrong, to the effect that it was only the Blake, for parsimonious reasons that ever received the SCOTs. In other words, I'd change the pennant number and name to C99 and Blake. Do notice then that the Blake's life preservers were slighthly differently arraigned than Tiger's. Otherwise just a terrific drawing, but I think I've already said that.

I'm not going to comment on equipment issues raised by Bezobrazov (because I know nothing about that), but the drawing is awesome!
