CC,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'm working on an Aussie Tiger right now. I got an update set from Defence Models in Australia ($40US) and I'll tell you, there's a LOT of surgery involved in making an externally accurate Tiger. I'm not even gonna comment on the interior! Lots of cutting and sanding in order to make everything fit, but overall it isn't bad. The set doesn't have any ordnance other than the nose cannon, but you can use Hellfire racks from another kit if you've got some spares. The Tiger does carry US M261 19-shot rocket pods, but I'm not sure if they're rated only for the inboard pylons. Outboard all I've seen is an odd 7-shot rocket pod that has faceted sides. Very different from the M260 7-shot pod carried by OH-58s and AH-6Ms.
This is it so far.
Hope that helps!
Jon
