Drum roll going for the big reveal! 🥁

 

Might be a long roll. I tallied the remaining tasks last night and came up with 25.

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!

the Italians created some beautiful engineering.

Well done Chris, it and the rest of them look stunning. They are so sharp and crisp. Truly inspirational.

 

The mixing of paint for the edge colouring has been worthwhile and spot on, can't see any evidence eye catching edges anywhere!

 

Beautiful.

That’s really amazing work Chris.  As I said before, you have gotten really good at these card kits!  I still can’t get over that these are in card - especially with all the compound curves involved.  Great job!

This may be possibly be one of your best Chris.

 

Pleasing to the eye and excellently rendered. Like has already been said it would be impossible to tell from the pictures that this a a card model showing just how far your command of the medium has come. Congratulations

Lou

I still haven't made up my mind yet, and I've changed it at least half a dozen times already. Nothing in my stash is crying out, "Build me now! Build me now!" with sufficient conviction. 🤔

I luv the  ribbing in the wings.

 

I do, too, but it's actually an optical illusion produced by the artist's rendering of the wing surfaces. Pawel's ability to depict this feature has matured over the course of his career, and as you can see he's gotten quite good at it. Not all card model designers have reached this pinnacle. 😬
