Dereknf Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The newish Airfix Tiger Moth in 1/48 scale. Another nice little kit with no real problems in build. Built and finished out of the box. As always self-inflicted build issues around the top wing which I left off unitl near the end, after applying decals and partial rigging. Matching the red was a challenge as the red I used was slightly different to the kit decals, which I have to say were excellent. 20210927_162253 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20210927_162300 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20210927_162306 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 20210927_162309 by Derek N.Ferguson, on Flickr 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dereknf Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Thanks for the kind comments folks. For rigging I used elastic thread and the tiniest blob of superglue. Airfix provide a very useful series of diagrams showing the rigging set up. I also partially rigged it before attempting to put the top wing in place.
