Scale Aviation Modeller International 1999-04


This is a new kit of the French Army version of the Eurocopter Tiger, the HAP 'Gerfaut' battlefield helicopter. It is moulded in light grey plastic with no flash, but prominent mould lines need to be removed. There are some fine panel lines along the main fuselage, but there arc also rows of oversized rivets on the tail boom and around the cockpit. The sprues include the HOT and Mistral missiles and the 20mm chin-mounted machine gun found on the French version, as well as the mast-mounted sight and Trigat missile system, suggesting there may be a follow-up kit of the German PAH 2 version planned. The instructions consist of a single A3 sheet folded into a four-page booklet. The front page shows the layout of the decal sheet and the positioning of all the decals common to all versions. The interior pages give a useful sprue plan, the colour scheme options and the positions of the decals specific to them. The painting guide gives the relevant numbers for Humbrol enamels, but there are no equivalent 'FS' or 'BS' colour references given. The back page covers construction
