Not only will the range be affected by the weight of the tea carried, you must also factor in the milk that goes with it. I'm certain our American cousins have not thought of either. ☕️-🥛=☹️. ☕️+🥛=😋

Wow! I can't believe you've made a p type compass, does it work as well?! Personally I hate the things so would be most happy for my 1/72 self if it didn't fit and had to leave it out. If you do manage to squeeze it in you might notice a frown appearing on the pilots face as he wonders which way he's heading🤔!

This is one of the favorite parts of the flying for me. I love watching people's reactions. Often (and not unnaturally) apprehensive when getting in, and then big grins when we get back. I'm lucky to fly the Harvard too and almost everybody comes back with what I call "The T6 grin", which takes quite a while to wear off😁! Glad you guys enjoy it. If you plan another trip to Duxford sometime, please feel free to pm me and if I'm around and I'm not flying I'd be happy to show you around some of our aircraft.

Thanks for giving me all that hair, i will forgive you for surgery you performed on my posterior 😳!

Starting to look very nice. Please tell what type of wire did you use for the rigging? I assume you didn't go for the double rigging option, it would be pretty fiddly in this scale. I've mulled over the order of painting, rigging and construction and your way seems to have got good results so far. Are you going to paint the wires after you finish or are you going for a silver dope finish? That would be pretty close to their real color I should think. I've got a few of these in my stash and I hope mine turn out as nice as yours😀.

I just caught up on this after a very long flight through the night, whilst in th quiet section of the train. Thank you for making me go as pink as some of those people whilst trying not to laugh! Best laugh out loud moment I've had in quite some time😂!

I always liked the look of the Twin Comanche, it's a classic in its own right now! I mostly flew Grumman Cougars and Senecas which were not in the same league as the Comanche. i noticed years ago that White Ensign Models had on their website plans for photo etch rigging for this kit, but this disappeared after they got taken over, so they've stayed in my stash ever since, hoping that this might change. Looking on with interest how the eyelet rigging goes, I've never tried that before. I was going to say some things about the wires and their thickness but the great photo's Greg's put up say it better than I can. Keep up the good work!

I feel very lucky to be able to fly such aircraft as these, and with the added bonus of being able to share the experience with so many people at the same time. Glad you liked the flight. Actually that's the first photos I've seen of me in the hot seat, so thanks for that! What do you intend to use for the rigging buy the way?

Interested to see how this goes, looking good so far. Curious as to how you intend to tackle the markings and secondly paint the pilot - that's me in the video! I'd never get in wearing a Mae West, and I normally use a set of David Clarks rather than a helmet with goggles. I have a couple of these in my stash and, time permitting would also like to make G-AIYR and also G-AIDL. Any questions about paint colors, details etc, feel free to ask and I'll help if I can! Hope to make my reaquaintance with IF in the next couple of weeks. The real floor is plywood and is in places a little bendy!

Here's one of my favourite photo's (me in the back!), I hope to make a model of this Tiger Moth in the near future and if it turns out half as nice as yours i will be a happy boy! I included this photo as it nicely shows the differences that light and background make on the wires (also how, to me, the spreader bars are quite a prominent feature - and can be added without too much fuss!). Just like yours the wires appear to be almost translucent in places. Will look into getting some of the same stuff you used for the wiring when i attempt mine. Also note the different type of wires going along the fuselage. These are more prominent on this aircraft as she is yellow, but they also stand out on most Tiger Moths that are not painted in dark colours. Ah, i see that i need a bit more practice in attaching photo's!

Hi, just stumbled on your build. Have been fortunate to see the real one up close a few times and your model does it justice! Am just getting back into modeling after the normal break for kids etc. might try something a little less ambitious to start with but I am interested to know what you used for the wires? They look pretty good for scale.
