Hello frogman3, first of all I want to congratulate you for the excellent model you are building of the HMS Tiger.
I told him that she is a cruise ship that I personally like very much and I would like to ask him about where I can get the plans of it to make my own model.
All the best. Gyan.

PS: I apologize if you don't understand me, my mother tongue is Spanish and I used the google translator :)

Hello Chis! How are you? Look, I have always liked the old cruisers or battleships converted into more modern ships like the USS Mississippi AG-128, the USS Boston CAG-1, the USS Little Rock CLG-4 or, in this case, the Tiger class in its Helicopter Carrier version. My idea is to continue contracting models in 1/72 scale so this would be my scale to build if possible. I also wanted to thank you for the reference of where I can get the plans. This morning I got in touch with quaycraft and asked him mainly about the matter of the scale (1/72) and the shipment (Generally, nobody makes this type of shipments to my country, Argentina, for a cost issue)
On the other hand I have been reviewing my collection of naval modeling catalogs and I have found the plans of the HMS Swiftsure of the Minotaur class that according to what I understood would become one of the older brothers of the tiger class and that were finished during the second world war . But the truth is that I don't know what, apart from the obvious differences, would be the differences in the hull between the Minotaur and the Tiger class, since it must be remembered that in the post war the plan was presented to finish the Minotaur class hulls under the name of the new tiger class. I hope I'm not wrong in the story...
All the best! Gian.

PD:I apologize again if the translation is not understood.

HI Gian well to start my wife jen an i are well thank you an yes i understand what you are saying as the 1/72 plans for tiger for me were a speical order an were exspensive so i had to pay more for them than the 1/96 scale plans that qauy craft do so as i understand it you say they wont send the big 1/72 plans of tiger to your country due to cost is that right ? oh that is a pity so what ship will you build then them older crusiers ? an if you do i'll try an help you all i can if you scratch  build your hull an there are plenty of pics on how i did mine if they are still on this thread as they should be an no worries about translation you are doin well  ps an im  sorry but i cant tell you the difference between the minotaur class ships hull an my tiger but as i said i'll try an help you if i can
