Crikey what a cracking model, I haven't seen one in this scheme either. It is nice and unusual, the engine and cockpit work is also amazing.
Fantastic job

Hi Max
Hope you are staying safe and are well fella. I saw you mentioned a Fury in your Tiggie thread so just had to check it out, love the look of the Fury what a beautiful machine which looks as though it's going fast standing still.
Great start fella would love one of these, but just going to be happy with my Airfix and Lindberg kits in 48th scale.

Oh no Max, hope the old Mojo is back to normal soon fella. You'll have the ICM one soon!!!

It does look lovely Max in the all over yellow. Great work fella. I am in two minds whether to get an ICM one or not as am waiting for the Special Hobby Whirlwind so poss won't otherwise may not be in SWMBO good books and I don't have enough brownie points to counter!!!
Happy New Year to you and the other LSP'ers. Hope you can stay safe.

Crikey Max it's still not arrived! Sorry to hear that, I am still waiting for various things in the post that we sent from a UK address last month too. The Royal Mail are suffering a bit with Covid issues I think.
Hope it arrives soon fella.

I don't know if it's tosh or not Chris, I had considered options along those lines but rejected them because ultimately in my book it's not worth it. Yes I want my models to be as accurate as possible and strive to the best of my ability and resources to make it so, but if I make a slip or if the model fights back then I'm happy to compromise. I don't pretend to model to competition standards, simply to please myself so whilst I'm aware of the deficiency, nobody else who looks at the model will be, and quite frankly I don't care even if they do!!
Yes I know what you mean and at this stage you dread having to keep picking up to add the final bits etc . I hope you didn't mind me suggesting that Max.

Hi Max
It does look very nice and it will be instantly recognised as a Tiggie as you said. Just thinking about itcould you use some invisible thread in the rigging that goes from top inner wing area to lower wing strut area and make it shorter, would that have the effect of pulling the outer lower wing up a bit and thus the top wing and give the dihedral. Sorry if spouting a load of tosh just wondered if that would work???

No worries Max, Yes they were thick and painted they looked great off the model however when added i did not like them so measured and drew some out on clear plastic and cut them out and painted the frames, this made them look more of a scale thickness too. A lot of fiddly work!!!
Yours does look fantastic, can't wait to see the rigging go on too. Really does bring them to life.

Don’t worry about catching up Chris, just pleased that you’re liking what you see especially as a tried and tested Tiger Moth builder!
Hi Max
I don't know about tried and tested, you were my saviour on that model with all your lovely photos and invaluable info fella.
Typical isn't it none for years and then three all at once, well almost. I must say I am not tempted to buy any. But will be very interested to see what the ICM release will be like, after the Gladiator.
Keep up the good work
