Title: Tiger Moth
Post by: Gisbod 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.

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

Very fine! Did you use any afermarket valorisation bits?

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.

Outstanding Guy

No way is that 1/72 scale! That is just plain gorgeous! Brilliant detail and expertly finished, just a world class model. Have you sent images to Airfix for their Blog page?

Now to do an Airfix Tiger Moth in Blue Max film markings!....I believe there are even decals somewhere for this?

cheers

Thanks Dave  :)

No, but I guess I could that...

The 1/48 one should be cracking.

Very well done! :)

Those new Airfix kits look really good, I have a few different ones, but have yet to build more. I did build their not-as-new-nor-well-done Bf110C and that came out really neat, even though its quite clunky in certain areas.

I think I can remember PrezemoL building the Airfix BE2c here with some improvments?
