kkarlsen Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Next project in the pipeline is this old 'kite' De Havilland DH 82 'Tiger Moth' This time I'm going to build one of the danish training planes, from the end of the thirties... Hopefully, a little relaxing build to get back to basics again...

kkarlsen Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Stoppel Hobby of Denmark has done the 1/32 scale decals, so I don't have to customise this time... Tnarg, MikeC and sandokan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I'm trying to reuse some of the techniques used in the S.e.5a builds, while I have them fresh in my memory... The seatbelts are PE from the spares box... A little extra details are added, handles and a couple of wires... The luggage compartment is opened and the compass has been scratched to add some detail to the cockpits... The front seat has been rebuild...

Old Dog Flying Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 A freat start and if allowed I would like to suggest you look at my website, www.barneysairforce.com and the construction article, "Tiger by the Tail, for the correct linkages on the throttle and trim. The photos show how straight from the old maintenance manual. Barney kkarlsen and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Boillot Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Taking a seat Looking at the decal sheet, I'd be soooo tempted by the float version ... (But, hey, I have this one in the stash any link to the source of the decal sheet - being plain lazy here ? ) Hubert Edited September 23, 2017 by MostlyRacers Tnarg and kkarlsen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Great stuff Kent, glad to see your corrections to the front seat. Two other areas that need to be addressed; the lower fuselage underneath the cockpit (see my pictures in LSP Walkarounds section) and lower wing dihedral which is too flat in the kit.
