When one looks at this Spanish Tiger, it doesn't take much imagination to see it in Israeli markings... ;)

Tiger is a tad narrow me thinks:



You may wish to look at bashing together. Tiger and NH90 to get this.  I plan to do the same one day if ever someone releases a 1/48 NH90 kit.

Can the Airfix Merlin HC-3 substitute for a NH-90?

Not for my plan as it is bigger again.

Ran into a similar issue when trying a Jolly Mean Giant. The AH-1's fuselage width vs. the SH-3's.
I suppose a Tiger/NH-90 bash would run into the same problem. Tiger/Merlin even more so.

I figure the transition points for the narrow fuselage to the wider fuselage provide points for some forward firing guns.

The Jolly Mean Giant makes me tingle. The top view reminds me of a Hind. Head on, it's right out of Avatar or some such!
