  1. Hi all, I will give my Aeroclub Tiger Moth a go: The main parts are limited run injection molded plus some thick etched brass parts for the struts and a nice set of decals but they do not include what I have in mind. I would like to do an over all Trainer Yellow RAF maschine - maybe with polished cowl. But not sure yet. A set of new stencil decals is the only extra I have (right now...): I need to get another build done soon so progress on the Moth will be slow the next days. If anyone knows a Tiger Moth in RAF service in overal yellow please let me know ;-) Rene
  2. Hi guys 'n' gals. Here's a look at the new Airfix TigerMoth and for fun, a comparison with an older boxing. I bought the older version at Southwell last year for a fiver after a pleasure flight in G-ANSM had inspired me. The old boxing has a top opening box with artwork depicting an RAF machine. The new tool is in an end opening box with artwork showing G-ACDC. Each model has similar contents. An instruction sheet, a small decal sheet and an Airfix club slip along with the model kit encapsulated in a polythene bag. The instruction sheet in the new tool is much more detailled than the old single sheet of the old style instructions. It resembles a booklet now and has elements printed in colour to help discern what goes where. Old.... New... The colour chart for the old kit is on the reverse of the instruction sheet whereas the new model features the colours on the reverse of the box. Old... New... There are three sprues of grey plastic in each box with an additional small clear sprue in the new boxing for the two windscreens. It is immeadiately obvious that the new tool is more complex but not hugely so. Most of the added complexity relates to optional parts like the opening doors and anti-spin strakes. If the modeller chooses to leave these bits as is the kits are much more similar in parts count. What is apparent on closer inspection is the fidelity of the new kit compared to the old version. As can be seen in the above image, the stretched linen effect is significantly more subtle on the new model. This should come as no surprise given the age of the earlier pressings. Here's a comparison of other parts. ....
