TIGER MOTH – FLYING SCALE MODEL AIRCRAFT KIT

In the early 1930s the British Air Ministry issued a specification for a new trainer aircraft for the RAF. The RAF began using the aircraft in 1932 and it was not replaced until 1952, meaning the vast majority of RAF and Commonwealth pilots that served in the Second World War, first took to the air in a Tiger Moth. Nearly 9000 Tiger Moths were built and many were sold as surplus after the war with the result that a great number survive to this day in the hands of pleasure flight companies and within a community of dedicated enthusiasts. The kit contains: Accurately printed plan, laser-cut parts, tissue, rubber motor, propeller, detailed instructions and PVA wood glue. All models in this series have real airframes, built up from laser-cut balsa sheet and strip parts, covered with lightweight model aircraft tissue to ensure the best possible flying performance. All necessary materials are included in the kit but to complete this model but you will also need pins, a modelling knife, sand paper and pliers.
