diamant Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hi, I would like to share with you the progress made by my father on these models. I still have to check some details about the colours of the N3817 and L5894. For example, some references show that N3817 painted in yellow the undersurfaces and lower part of the fuselage but some others mention a light color.

marvinneko Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I see you have lower wings painted lighter than upper wings. I have read about this requirement (to compensate for shadow) but I think this is the first time I have seen a modeller do it. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Mike we will add two more Tiger Moths to the series. The first one with the rear fuselage, tail, elevator and lower wing in light green and light earth. The second one has the whole fuselage and the lower wing in those same colours too. Here is a photo showing the progress on this batch.
