Very nice Kent some simply but very affective methods used here a joy to watch unfold.

A question what is the make of the rivet tool you are using I have never seen that type wouldn't mind one of those myself.

Thanks for your kind words Guy.

The tool I use for this kind of work is called a Pounce Wheel, it's made by Excel and they come in different sizes.

I think they are available in most online Hobby Shops and on 'Evil' bay...

Lovely looking Tiger Moth, Kent. 

 

Another great scheme you have chosen which you certainly don't see often, or better yet, never.  

Well done so far. 

 

I just love these older vintage kits seeing the light of day again with a touch of modern thrown in..

A looong time ago. But now I've got the idea of converting 'S-15' into a floatplan...

Yesterday I stubled across footage of 'S-15' participating in an Arctic Expedition to Greenland 1938-39.

 

RDAF Tiger Moth landing in the harbor of Copenhagen before being taken aboard the polar vessel 'Gamma' for Greenland...

The footage from Greenland is 18 mins in all with a lot of 'Tiger Moth' action

So, what do you think guys? Crazy?
