HI GUYS
a bit more done on tiger I built three more hull frames but what has taken so much work on them is because they must be the dead right size as the H/J or i'll have a kinky hull

Hello Bob yes the old jigsaw has been busy over the last few days but i'll be glad when I have got this hull built as its a job to line up the qaudront cutouts when the frame are getting smaller so hope for the best LOL
