Lee Chambers Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Out of the box build Paints used - Tamiya Hi all, I am calling this highly recommended kit done. Yes, if you want to fill your swear box up in record time then this kit will help you achieve it! Poor instructions and some parts that had not a prayer of coming close to fitting made this a frustrating build at times. However, it's my first go at building a biplane and rigging one. I admit I used some wrapping wire with the insulation stripped off it to rig the model, not sure all of it looks in scale, but the kit had parts that also looked a little out of scale. Weirdly I would build another one of these kits, as I have learned a lot about how they go together and I fancy building the Airfix Tiger Moth in the future. In the movie the plane appears brand new, however at this scale; it needed a little weathering to stop the "toy like look". I have to thank the ghosts of Denys Finch Hatton and Karen Blixen, who I am sure gave me the will power to complete this build. I have included some stills from the movie of the plane flying over the African landscape, I hope you enjoy your flight. Happy modelling. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Great job on this, crikey you did pick one as your first biplane !!! I built the DH60 Cirrus Moth last year and I know exactly what you mean about filling up the swear box !!! I also did enjoy the experience too. Great work and great photos Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Really nice, one of my all time favourite movies & the sequences with the Moth in them were just gorgeous, as is your model. Well done for persevering. I have plans to do F-Hs actual one in 1/72, fool that I am. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve, best of luck building the original version, at least you won't have to swop the exhaust over like the movie version has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
