Got a Tiger by the Tail....

I've started building Revell Germany's Eurocopter Tiger kit. There's alot in this kit. Has anyone tried it? and are there any good references?

Are you talking about the 1/72 or 1/48 version?

The Eurocopter site (http://www.eurocopter.com/) hosts many pictures and diagrams.  You can see these under the product session or the media gallery (under The Group>Medias Corner>Photos Gallery).  See for example http://www.eurocopter.com/site/FO/scripts/siteFO_contenu.php?mode=&lang=EN&noeu_id=95&page_id=49 

 For the 1/48 version, I think the Italeri, Revell, and Heller versions are pretty much the same.  They're for protoypes.  I am toying with the idea of building an Australian version of the helicopter (there is an Australian firm offering the proper decals, and they're periodically available on EBay).  I have no experience with the 1/72 version.

It's the 1/48th scale. I think it's a cool looking copter!!! I'll check out the Eurocopter site. Thanks.

I was fortunate enough for Eurocopter Canada to send me promotional and technical material (with fantastic photo coverage of the prototypes) on the Tiger variants a few years ago. If you like, I'll scan them and post them to you.
