Plastic kit of the British de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth trainer biplane in 1:72 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The de Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth is a British two-seat trainer biplane from the first half of the 1930s. The crew sits in tandem in open cockpits, the landing gear is fixed and the wings are slightly swept back so that the pilot can get out of the front position more easily. Power came from an air-cooled de Havilland Gipsy Major inverted inline engine. A whole generation of pilots went through basic training on the Tiger Moth, and many airframes flew on in civilian hands long after the war.
A model of the Tiger Moth in 1:72 scale for building and painting, assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions. The small scale means the finished biplane takes up only a little room in a display case and sits well next to larger aircraft of the same scale.
A biplane needs above all a careful fit of the upper wing. Dry-fit the struts first, stand the model on a flat surface and let the glue cure properly before you go on. Paint the cockpit interiors before you close the fuselage, because a brush will not reach in there later. The rigging wires between the wings are added from fine filament or stretched sprue, and only once the paint is finished. Fabric-covered surfaces take a gentle highlight of the ribs in a darker shade, but really only in moderation.
Building a biplane in a small scale calls for patience and a steady hand, so it suits modelers who already have several models behind them. Paints, glue and putty are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
