A rather classic subject, and thus unusual for me, but here is a build of two Moths. I bought the Amodel and Avis releases believing they were different molds, but no luck. A very old Amodel mold was released long ago, and that was different (and not in a good way). Therefore, here are two Moths, one for me and other for dear friend David the Tall of Chicago. As much I may know about really arcane subjects, I am a total illiterate on these widespread types, and had to start to educate myself. In any case, here are the boxings and contents. There are many versions out there in different releases, but apparently the sprues are more or less the same. Save that the seaplane has floats, of course, and the Amodel has an extra wing with slats. The quality is in general good, a lot of detail, not easy to handle (cleanup). The fit is... well, you know the drill, short-run fit-like. It is often described as "indifferent". But hey, they release wonderful civil subjects for a moderate price, so good for them for that! The masters for these kits are excellent, it's just the molding process that gives an impression of lack of definition. I can't comment on accuracy, as I do not know this plane at all, but I like what I see. I started with the cockpits, but noticed the strange absence of the front joystick. Nope, nothing in the instructions. Therefore I must conclude that in my ignorance I didn't know that the first pilot handles the rudder, while the GIB takes care of the stick. It Takes Two to Tango!:
