Revell 1/32 Tiger Moth


Recommended Posts

Another long-term stash lurker. A very enjoyable kit to build with nice fit. Sprayed in Xtracylix RAF Trainer Yellow. The markings are slightly fictitious. The serial is correct but I have no idea that airframe flew in those colours. The rigging was a bit of a faff but worked out quite well.

I Like it  It seems a bit of the rigging on starboard side has gone a bit wobbly. Also I reckon one should colour in the walkways with black or very dark grey; just to make it more complete. Otherwise, a nice build.

Very nice indeed , I too have one lurking in the stash and after seeing your fine job I might just dig it out . 

Just curious but are the wind screens on the right way ? looks like the front should be on the back and vice verser ? or is it my eyes playing tricks again ?

I think I might have had a failing elastic issue! You're right about the walkway. I completely missed that.

You may be right. I checked each one and they both fitted in both positions .

I found this kit very difficult back in my yoof, as the upper wing was very heavy for the struts to bear.  Well done.

Tha part was tricky right enough. It sort of fits where it touches at the moment.

Might be a silly question.

 

Is this Revell Moth a rebox of the Matchbox 1/32?

 

It's come up a treat and was just wondering

 

Cheers
