A set of photo-etched parts in 1:48 scale for a model of the de Havilland Tiger Moth training biplane. The metal parts refine the detail of the open cockpits and of the airframe structure.
Responsibility details are not available.
The de Havilland Tiger Moth is a British two-seat training biplane of the 1930s. Whole generations of pilots were trained on it and the aircraft stayed in service long after its military career ended. The design is simple and easy to follow: a fabric-covered airframe, a pair of open cockpits in tandem, fixed landing gear with a tailskid and an inline engine in the nose. It is precisely the open cockpits and the exposed struts that make the Tiger Moth a rewarding subject, because far more is visible on a finished model than on aircraft with a closed fuselage.
These are photo-etched parts in 1:48 scale made from thin metal sheet. On a biplane with open cockpits such parts come into their own, because they replace elements that would come out disproportionately thick in plastic. The list of parts and their placement is given in the instructions enclosed by the manufacturer.
Cut the parts out with a sharp blade on a hard surface and sand down what is left after separation. Make each bend in one movement along the etched line; metal fatigues and cracks if it is bent repeatedly. Use super glue or epoxy for gluing, as polystyrene cement has no effect on metal. Before you start painting, degrease the sheet and lay a primer coat on it. With interior equipment it pays to paint before gluing it into the fuselage, because once it is assembled you will not get to it.
The kit, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
