Just finished the new tool Airfix Tiger Moth as ZK - BFH. The kit assembles beautifully and although tiny makes up into real gem. I finished it as ZK - BFH as it currently exists in the Croydon collection at Mandeville.
Such is the pleasure this kit gave me I have subsequently got a few more of this kit to build as agricultural and impressed Tiger Moths.

Beautiful, just beautiful! The canopy framing, the little details on the tank, the rigging...what a little beauty.
New Airfix are the most wonderful models. I have two of this kit underway too, such a lovely little kit with loads of detail.

One of the most crisp models I have seen for a long time - nice straight lines on finish. Looks great!

lovely model I'm guessing you used the Xtradecal set for BFH? I've done that one myself along with an RNZAF tiger (markings also by Xtradecal)

Beautiful model. Was it difficult to put the rigging on the wings?

Thank you for the complimentary remarks gents. It is a pleasure to share the models in what is very much a solitary pursuit'
Harry I did use some of the Xtradecal set for BFH. I question the colour note of black for the fuel tank on the Xtradecal instructions as when I visited the tank was most definitely Yellow.
Mark I use Uschi van der Rosten superfine monofilament [0.001mm O.D.] to rig 1/72 scale aircraft. It works very well with cyno acrylate glues although in a lot of situations I use a clove hitch as I can because it allows easy tension adjustment. When I'm happy with the tension I secure the knot with a drop of matt varnish.
