alex Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Good evening, well, few weeks ago I finished the Tiger Moth group build, but still didn't got any proper pics. Today, I finally did it. I took the pics in one of the fancy foto cubes, I'm still trying to get used to, but it already helps a lot! Not much to say about the kit, it's a really nice one, almost perfect fitting, excellent decal sheet, and a pure pleasure to build! I think I forgot the washing, maybe I should add some dark shadows in the engine cowling where there are supposed to be some holes . Paint was Modelmaster Enamels (RAF Trainer yellow, dark earth and dark green). Rigging is stretched sprue, painted with edding. Hope you like the result! Thanks for attention, and for hosting the GB!

ForestFan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That's a classic look! Looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Love a Tiger Moth and yours is no exception, just how do you stetch the sprue to be so consistant to use it as rigging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Very nice indeed and as somebody who has been fighting with one of these for the past three months with snapped struts and awful rigging to deal with,..... I`m very envious of you! Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Excellent Tiger! And Airfix' handling of the portrayal of fabric covered surfaces must be admired, too… Top drawer modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 That's a really lovely Tiger Moth you have put together, Alex. I have the civil version of this Airfix kit waiting to be built so pleased to hear it goes together well. Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Beautifully done! What a difference from the Airfix kit I built as a kid.... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayB24 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very attractive and clean build, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very nicely done - I have this same kit in the stash and it's good to know that she builds up so well. I second the comment on the fabric effect, that looks just right to my eyes. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Aaaahhh De Havilland! lovely model you have bult, you should be proud of that one. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Very nice indeed, and the colours looks spot on. I'm an Xtracolor man, but I have my doubts about their Dark Earth. Your rigging looks good too.I have one of these Tigers at the top of my (small) stash - occasionally I get the fuselage bits out, put them on the bottom wing, start thinking about the rigging, then it all goes back in the box....

alex Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for the nice compliments! @Head in the clouds: well, I needed a few tries. But as only small stretches were needed, it was not a big deal. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 A lovely looking Tiger Moth. Seeing this has inspired me to bump mine up the stash pile a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
