1/350 HMS Tiger 1915 (Combrig)
This was my first attempt at building a Combrig kit, and it turned out
to be a very enjoyable experience. It is mostly an OOB build, but I added
BMK brass barrels from some of their 5.25 ones but they needed to be shortened
to match the length of the 6" barrels. For the blast bags I used white
Blu-tack, once sculpted to the correct shape they were given a coat of
PVA glue to seal them. I hoped to get a BMK mast set for the model, but
I couldn`t get hold of one, so I made my own from Brass rod. The PE deck-railings
were from Toms Model Works and the rigging was done with E-Z line and stretched
sprue. This kit fitted together perfectly ,and hopefully I will have a
go at a SMS Seydlitz that is lurking in my stash. Overall impression -
Excellent kit, highly recommended
