Tiger Moth
« on: January 06, 2019, 07:22:24 AM »
Hello All,

Here’s another off topic I’ve just finished. The new tool 1/72 Airfix Tiger Moth. Absolute beauty of a kit and has inspired me to get a BE2c. Very nicely moulded and super fit. Well done Airfix!

Thanks for looking,


Guy

   Very nice model Guy, what brand and color is the yellow, or is it a mix?
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Juan, Steve & Lance for your comments.

Lance, it’s Tamiya - but with all reds & yellows I add a hint of brown. I just feel it takes away that slightly toy look of bright colours.

Hope that helps...

Guy

Ps anyone done the Airfix BE2c?

Nice, tiny yellow plane. It's good that Airfix is reissuing its old catalogue with new technology, reminds me old times. And these new kits make really pleasent models.
Ciao

Outstanding Model! Tempts me to look into 1/72nd scale a little more seriously  ;D

Thanks all  :)

I don’t think I can have done Prze - I don’t know what that is!

I did use the Eduard PE though.

Excellent job!

BTW,  I just learned Airfix has announced a 1/48 Tiger Moth for 2019.
