Airfix 1/72 New Tool Tiger Moth - In Box Review

Post by Bassman »

This kit...

One option...

These being the decals...

Separately bagged transparencies...

Three sprues in a light grey plastic, with a nice level of detail...

You have the option of displaying the model with the cockpit "doors" open which involves drilling some holes and removing the moulded in doors.

looks superb and after seeing Dan's builds of late, i quite fancy an older bird :whistle: but not too old as this would suit me, i think the box art sells it as well as the review.

Looks like it would be a lovely little build, I've recently done the new Gladiator and that's really nice...
Yes.. It is supposed to look like that!

Just recently bought the first one, I have an inbox review here:

I've really enjoyed the build so far, but have paused at placing the upper wings on because I plan to buy after market decals and painting guides for RAAF service :shifty: not just because I'm Australian at all.....
