Alain Thanks Alain very kind. 49 minutes ago, Epeeman said: Chris - Fantastic work as ever, mate! I have this kit in my stash and this will most likely be my next project once I have finished my current one. I'm to read this is a good kit from Airfix - any issues I need to be aware of? Regards Dave Thanks Dave, very kind too. You are going to love it, Airfix have produced another cracker with this one , no vices to speak of, the only thing I found wrong was the lower set of levers on the Port side cockpits as they should be in the same place and linked, however they face different directions. I did use some resin extra bits but only wheels and the top of the fuel tank and some Eduard PE, but again not much along with some small scratched bits. Just enjoy. 43 minutes ago, jean said: Hi, this is the modelling level we all dream of... And keep on dreaming about. Stupendous result! Congrats!!! I am building this kit at the mo, and I now feel rather subdued. But it is a beautifully engineered kit and a pleasure to tinker with. Super well done. JR Thanks Jean, really kind. Don't be subdued enjoy the wonderful kit. It is beautifully engineered as you say and a pleasure to build. There were a couple of points where I nearly put it aside but that was due to my additions for the rudder control cables and no fault of the kit. Keep up the good work with your one will catch up with it again soon too. 39 minutes ago, Paul J said: Love a well built Tiger Moth. SOme fine work there. BUt i need to ask... is thata light grey finish with the T bands? I believed them to be silver dope Thank you Paul, it is Humbrol 56 Aluminium enamel paint. It looks good in the light but it could be yhe black backround perhaps. Very pleased with way it turned out though. Thanks Guys for those lovely comments Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day I will get there! John grab one and give it a go, you will love it. I have a further 3 more in the stash Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Mike Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Lovely build Chris, the details and weathering are spot on! I thought of this build at the weekend when I had an unexpected trip into the Solent Sky museum.

I used to think the same, but had a go and found it enjoyable, it is a great feeling when the rigging starts to go on and really starts to bring the model to life.

The Spadgent Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Really great job on the moth. It was lovely to be a doing a side by side with you on this one. The outdoor shots are my favourite, the light really catches the detail and quality in the build. Bravo. 👏👏👏👏 Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
