Airfix 1/48 D h Tiger Moth
Hi everyone
Finished the Moth today, it's the Airfix 1/48 kit that was released a short while ago. I saw on on this site an earlier post by a fellow contributer of a yellow Moth. I was hooked when I came round to doing my Moth it was going to be yellow. Cheers for the nudge John It's in the markings of " No. 6 Elementary Flying Training School, Royal Australian Air Force, based at RAAF Station Mallala South Australia 1940.
The Moth was a great build with added extras being: Kits World 3d printed seat belts, Bob's Buckles eyelets, Albion Alloys tubing and Uschi rigging material, 0.05 and 0.03. I checked on the Uschi website and 0.05 is recommended for 1/48, it may be my eyes but it looks a bit thin. But happy to go with it.
Happy modelling every one.
Nice job, Guy...especially with the yellow.
Cheers Gary a very enjoyable build
Fantastic job, Guy!
Well done!
Thank you Spiros I do like these newer Airfix kits.
very nice! Yellow is not the easiest color to work with but you really pulled it off well. Great job on this!
Thank you David I admit to more luck than judgement. I had a go at using Tamiya smoke as the filter to give the yellow a bit of depth
Beautifully done, looks great!
Cheers Robert, I do like to try something different every now and then.
She's a nice looking bird! The yellow is a stand-out.
Thank you Greg it was an enjoyable experience trying rigging and finishing it in a yellow scheme.
That's very nice - what's not to like about a Tiger Moth? Especially one done like this.
Cheers Tom had a load of fun doing this one I have a few more biplanes to do and the worry over doing them has now passed
Very nice result, Guy @thom
A lovely Moth in Yellow.
Thank you John glad you liked it
Great yellow painting!
Cheers Lis Next kit is on my bench HobbyBoss F-111A size wise going from the sublime to the ridiculous.
What a lovely build. The Tiger Moth from Tintin!
Oh yes with the Thompson Twins hanging out of the back seat
Liked their music and still do 
Great result, Guy! Who doesn’t like a yellow Aussie Tiger Moth?
Thank you John
your earlier build was my inspiration for doing this finish 
Always good to see a well built Airfix kit, this moth looks great.
Cut out the doors and did the rigging, nice! Looks great
Great job Guy, a nicely made Tiger Moth. They look great in yellow.
