Well, her ladyship has decided that we should build a pair of biplanes, so here there are.

Airfix 1/72 new tooling.

She has decided that she is doing the military version, while I build the civilian one.

We have made a start by getting the inners prepped and waiting for priming.

There is an option to have the doors open but went against this, easier to mask and paint.

So far no problems, apart from the carpet monster that struck at Rose again, this time a control column went into the void...

And sods law that the civilian version has a different rear fuselage/ tail area, so I have had to cut along the pre marked lines to remove the upper deck.

One thing we have found is how small they are compared to the Spitfire she just built.

Anyhow , enough of this s... , will post updates as and when.

Those new Airfix Tiger Moths are mad popular these days. Although not my scale, I am inspired to build the old 1/32 Matchbox version once I get my Hurricane done.

Hey Simes, how's it hanging pal ? ,I will watch this one with interest, the old moulding was considered one of the worst Airfix ever did , I remember getting one for christmas a few years ago off a friend and eventualy giving it away (unbuilt) to some kid at a club day,prob'ly put him of the hobby for life !
Take care N.

Well folks it has been some time since we posted on this build, so we decided to up date you.

Not much we hasten to say but progress forward.
Firstly a couple of the good lady Rose at the bench.

and now some of the crew in respective cockpits.


Notice the difference between the civilian version and the military version.


And dry fitted into their fuselage halves.


Hope to post more soon.

Simon and Rose.

Well if anyone is awake, here is a latest update.

Started the drilling for the rigging.
Her Ladyship Rose was hard at it, following what I had done.

Next up was the holes on the fuselage, and boy was that fun...
As you can see by mine, it took a few attempts.


And one more of Rose`s.

So while I fill holes, she has cooked tea.

update when ready.

Simon and Rose.

Good to see the progress with this pair of diddy flyers. Colour schemes decided yet?

Well folks, it has been a while since we have posted anything.
Well this is because the great apathy monster raised its head and struck.
Anyhow we fought back today,and got something actually done.
Holes drilled in upper wing.
Lower wing attached to fuselage.

Then the tailplane was added, also the radiator fitted to upper wing.


Allow these to set over night then hopefully finish off the build til primer stage.

Simon and the Lady Rose.

Great work guys. I don't envy you the rigging on this pair!
