I'm sure Tony (Oz) said that the width of the zim pattern on the hull is different to that on the turret.
Drop him a PM he'll be happy to help.

Re: fv432's late tiger build
Hi andy no worries on the fibre optics

Re: fv432's late tiger build
Great job fv432
I can see there has been many hours put into this great build. Wonderful attention to detail. How long has it taken for you to get to this stage ? When do you think it will be completed. Looking forward to further installments.
Cheers.

Re: fv432's late tiger build

this build has been going for an eternity but the asiatam lower hull speeded things up a bit
im guessing total man hours at about 2 weeks over 2.5 years

hopefully by cobbaton
