This is excellent news - no modelling, painting instead. That's an ideal way of resting your mind Richard mozart 1
mozart Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) On the Silver Wings Facebook page is a "progress build" just in pictures of a pretty amazing looking Tiger Moth, using lots of PE that isn't in the kit. I notice that the modeller has put some rods either side of the fuel tank to hold the upper wings at the "correct" angle, but I'm not too sure from his pictures about the dihedral on the lower wings: I'll be watching with interest, so many areas to see how he tackles.

RLWP Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I did that rod trick with my Cirrus Moth too Richard mozart 1
geedubelyer Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 That last photo of your set does seem to show less dihedral than the real thing Max. Is it possible to use bent wire at the front joint of the lower wing without it being visible? I wonder where MH Design got their PE? Perhaps these shots indicate the development of an aftermarket PE set? Looking forward to seeing you get this one over the line when your mojo returns. This model and your other TigerMoth have been an inspiration. I've got the old Revell kit in the stash but haven't touched it. I do however have the new ICM kit winging it's way to me from Hannants so may be pestering you for reference images before long. Stay safe. mozart 1
mozart Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 Very happy to help with references in any way I can Guy, I put lots in the Walkaround section some years ago but if any more are required just let me know. There's a good chance I'll finish my second painting today, so may feel the urge to look at the Tiger Moth, who knows? https://www.largescaleplanes.com/walkaround/wk.php?wid=157
Normandy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 The ICM Facebook is very interesting about « How processed with Tiger » ....but Mozart, do yo post some photos of your actuel surgery ?
VW Chris 1969 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Crikey no modelling Max !!! Are you okay fella. Have you got an ICM one yet ? Chris
mozart Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 No inclination at all to build right now Chris, I’m fine and I know the mojo will return but I’m not going to try to force it. The ICM Tiger Moth is being delivered tomorrow, it could be the spur to get back to the bench! Fanes and VW Chris 1969 2
mozart Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 Well it's been nearly a month since I last posted regarding the Tiger Moth, so a quick update: Rather a sorry spectacle!! It's been causing a real block for me, I feel I should be trying to make the best of it but I lack any drive to do so, so I've reconciled myself to "put it away" for the moment! There's no doubt I'll return to it at some point, but right now I'm rather "Tiger Moth'd out" and feel the need for a fresh start. C'est la vie! The Hunter hopefully will be finished before closing time! Daniel Leduc, BradG, kkarlsen and 7 others 1 9
monthebiff Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Such a shame Max but probably the best thing to do, looking forward to seeing your Hunter finished though! Regards.Andy
Out2gtcha Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 It is what it is Max! Take a break, paint, build something you normally don't, what have you. I myself very recently got all "Tiger Cat'd out" (again). It happens Alain Gadbois 1
mozart Posted February 17, 2021 Author Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Thanks chaps. I’ve picked up my Hawker Fury in the Air Superiority GB, made a good re-start today and looking forward to getting on with it. Edited February 17, 2021 by mozart Alain Gadbois, Out2gtcha and monthebiff 3
dmthamade Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Man, all that work....is it recoverable? Don
