About product

Photo-etched accessories for the Tiger Moth in 1:48 scale

A set of photo-etched metal parts for a model of the de Havilland Tiger Moth trainer biplane in 1:48 scale. On an aircraft with open cockpits the detail is visible without any peering in, so every feature that has to be thin and still strong is worth replacing with metal. Etched sheet makes it possible to produce slender levers, buckles and small panels the way injection-molded plastic never could.

The real subject

The Tiger Moth was a British trainer biplane of the 1930s on which whole year groups of Commonwealth pilots learned to fly during the Second World War. It had two open cockpits in tandem, fixed landing gear, fabric covering and an inverted inline engine. The aircraft had a reputation for forgiving mistakes only up to a point, which is why the pilots who came off it were genuinely trained. A number of machines fly to this day, so there is usually plenty of reference for faithful painting and for building a particular aircraft.

What to be ready for during the build

  • separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard surface, do not break them out
  • make the bends in one movement over a straight edge or in a bending tool
  • they are glued with super glue in tiny drops; solvent cement will not bond metal to plastic
  • degrease the metal before painting, otherwise the primer will not take
  • on a biplane think the order of the steps through in advance, as it is hard to reach between the wings later

Who the set is for

For a builder who is up for fine work and wants to get more out of the model than a straight-from-the-box build. The exact list of parts and the kit the set is cut for are given in the manufacturer's instructions; before building, offer the parts up to your model dry. Using every piece is not compulsory, as even a few well chosen ones tell on the result.

A set of photo-etched parts is supplied. The model, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
