About product

The DH.82A Tiger Moth trainer biplane in the large 1:32 scale

An injection-molded plastic kit from the Ukrainian brand ICM. The large scale lets the wire rigging between the wings, the open cockpits and the inverted inline engine under the narrow cowling stand out. The box is devoted to machines that served with the air forces of various countries, so the decal sheet offers more than one national marking.

The real subject

The Tiger Moth came about at the beginning of the 1930s as a de Havilland trainer. The upper wings were given a pronounced forward stagger so that a pupil in the front cockpit could get out with a parachute even in flight, and the inverted inline Gipsy Major engine gave the machine undemanding, reliable power. More than eight thousand were built and the Royal Air Force trained beginner pilots on them until the end of the 1950s. The machine did not stay at home, though: it flew in Belgium, in France, in Portugal, in Sweden and in Norway, where it was built under license, and a number went to the United States. To this day it is among the most widespread airworthy biplanes.

Building and painting

  • Glue the struts between the wings in a jig, so that the flying surfaces stay parallel.
  • Rig the wires only after the whole cellule is glued and painted.
  • Lay a white base under the yellow trainer scheme, otherwise the tone goes gray.
  • Bring out the fabric covering with a fine dark wash along the ribs.

Who will enjoy the model

  • For lovers of interwar aviation and classic biplanes.
  • For modelers who want to try working with rigging in the large scale.
  • For collectors of trainers and of the aviation history of the Commonwealth.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted, and glue and paints do not belong to it.

FAQ

Because of leaving the machine in an emergency. The stagger freed the front cockpit so that a pupil could jump from it with a parachute.

A biplane with rigging calls for care. The large scale makes the work easier, though, and the parts are easier to hold than in 1:72.

With the Royal Air Force it lasted in the training role until the close of the 1950s, and in civil operation it flies to this day.

Modelers usually add the wire rigging themselves from elastic thread or thin wire; it is an ordinary part of building a biplane.
