1961
New kit releases were at a low ebb with only HMS Tiger and an unusual subject of a Shell coastal tanker. While neither of these was likely to be a tremendous seller they were both successful long-term projects and made up into attractive models.
HMS Tiger Scale 1/415
Also included a flagsheet. The kit depicted the ship as it
looked before rebuild to helicopter carrier. Strangely
enough, the first issue box kept its suffix-P even when
printed years after the change to F-prefixes for all other
Frog kits.

FROG F142 HMS Tiger - Cruiser, Rovex-Triang Ltd., 1970
NEW AND IN VIEW
Re-Issued Ship Kits
ROVEX-TRIANG LTD. HMS Tiger and Trafalgar. Neither Scales nor prices quoted.
Both these kits first appeared some 10-odd years ago and it might have been better had some thought been given to their re-issue as converted during recent R.N. service.
The kit of H.M.S. TIGER especially lends itself to modernisation in view of recent publicity on her re-commissioning with a hanger aft. It is also felt that the A/D conversion of the survivors of the Battle class destroyers would have been more appropriate. Both kits are well moulded and easy to assemble, although detail is somewhat sparse. Both are tailor-made for the Humbrol paint kit 11N and the instructions are clear and well laid out although both kits can be assembled without them. There was some slight flash on both kits but no distortion and the grey material was easily handled. Various Battles were refitted with different secondary armaments and recourse must be made to appropriate publications to ensure accuracy. Battles have now been deleted from the Navy List but a couple are still serving in the Pakistan Navy, with one example as flagship of the Imperial Iranian Navy (this one is very much modified and now almost unrecognisable). Both kits have room for the super-detail enthusiast to go wild and both are worthy of consideration for the building programme of any warship enthusiast. Any member with information which might be of use for a conversion article is asked to contact the reviewer through the Editor as soon as possible.
