discussion Tiger Moth.....Airfix 1/72

[PaulTRose]

I fancy another wingy thing and thought id try a bi plane

Got to give some thought about how im going to paint this, at least its not camo

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Good luck Paul. It will be a very small model to work on. Rather you than me.

Nice choice Paul, bit of a wee challenge. There are so many options for a colourful Tiger Moth, paint it as if you own it

I'll follow this build with interest and take notes as I bought this kit from Lidl recently.

Nice one Paul, looking forward to seeing this one develop.

Its where i got it from

Dont everybody get too excited......im already having problems

 

[PaulTRose]

Well this is on the back burner for a while
its quite a fragile thing.....several of the struts have broken....havnt even took them off the sprues yet....so think i might have to scratch some......lower wing isnt going to fit the fueslage without a bit of surgery......hearts not in it at the mo but will return at some point

 

[flyjoe180]

That's a shame Paul, maybe you can get a replacement sprue(s) from Airfix if it was broken in the box. It is certainly is one of their more fragile kits.

Another nice little Airfix kit. Although I do remember the lower wing problem you mentioned. When you think how many pilots started their training in a Moth, you realise how important this aircraft was.

 

[Jim R]

Shame that. I'll leave mine on the box until you work out solutions to the kits issues. I've no doubt you'll get it sorted.
