Airfix 1:72 Tiger Moth
Discussion
Thanks guys, much appreciated. I just noticed I left off the oil tank cap. I’ll sort it sometime.
Thinking about it, the colour of RAF trainers have gone through a lot of phases - yellow/camo, yellow, silver/yellow, silver/orange, red/white/grey, I’m sure there are more. The irony is, they seem to have settled on Black for now.

The change to Gloss Black was for training a/c operated at low level - gloss black stands out better when you 'skyline' an a/c. The Jetstream, for eg, never went into a Black scheme but remained Red/White/Grey. The King Air also never went into Black but remained White/BlueRigging is most impressive. I had my Nieuport rigged with copper wire, which didn't turn out well. And that is 1:48 compared to this 1:72. Everything is taken off now and I will try again. Previous attempt was too embarrassing to post here.

I usually only browse the Pistonheads forums on my phone, but just happened to be using a tablet this morning, really glad I am though, those pictures, and the finished model are stunning.
Would love to see a Beaufighter, if you are taking requests!

Oh dear. Why not try my method - it’s really the easiest way of doing it?Spumfry said:

Thanks very much. I’ll do the Beaufighter, although it’s a pretty boring grey colour out of the box.dr_gn said:
