Vulcanicity Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hi all! Just about finished this little model. As a graduate of Oxford, and long-time RAF Modeller, I always felt a bit embarassed that I'd built the Airfix Chipmunk in Cambridge UAS colours, but had no OUAS aircraft, or indeed a Tiger Moth of any kind! I bought the Airfix kit ages back but its total lack of resemblance to a Tiger Moth scared me witless-it's still lurking like a bad stain in my stash! So I was very pleased to buy the new Tiger Moth from AZ and finish it in a lovely post-war yellow scheme as T6026 of Oxford University Air Squadron in 1946-7. WIP is here, suffice to say that it generally builds very nicely, the only real issue is that the lower wing is too long by 2-3mm and needs some removal of material at the wingroots to make the interplane struts sit vertically. Hope you like it! Comments welcome! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 That's turned out really well and, as you say, light years ahead of the old Airfix effort. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A beautiful Tiger! It looks light years ahead of the Airfix effort and your hard work and attention to detail has really paid off. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritag Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lovely job Phil. Where's the 50p piece so we can see just how small it is - and just how much more impressive the work is than we already think it is (if you see what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
