De Havilland Tiger Moth by Lt. Biggles - Airfix - 1/48

[Lt. Biggles]

Hey,

Feels like ages ago since I’ve been able to think about doing any models. But I’ve got things settled and have some time to spare so I’m back. It will probably be a slower build! But slow and steady. 
I’ve been asked to replicate a specific plane. This one… Queenie

 

 

A classic tiger moth. So just waiting for them to send me some references pics of the cockpit so I can really get things going.

Airfix have a 1/48 scale kit.

 

And I’ve got the Eduard aftermarket PE set with a few bits to help make it that much better (hopefully). 
 

It has a few challenges, mainly the Union Jack on the tail which I’ll have to mask and paint, matching the red paint scheme and knowing its ratio for the inevitable touch ups and on the left side nose it has a very specific logo. Which I’ll have to make a custom decal for… new territory! The kit instructions come with detailed drawings on how to rig it. So that should really finish it well! 
Thanks for taking a look
