ccoyle Posted December 11, 2021 Author #67 Posted December 11, 2021 The Big Reveal! All done! Believe it or not, quite a few fiddly bits 'n' pieces were added between today's update and the last one: exhaust pipes, two venturies, control horns, actuator rods, control cables, fuel line, and pitot tube. I am really quite pleased with how this turned out. Again, much of the credit must go to the excellent design. There were no "mystery parts" left over or construction sequences that weren't apparent in the diagrams -- truly a great kit and one to recommend without reservation. So, on to the pictures! And as a bonus, here's a family portrait of the Tiger Moth and three of her biplane sisters (clockwise from lower left: Fiat CR.42 Falco, CWL WZ.X, Polikarpov Po-2). Gotta love those Zweideckern!
