John's Svenska Tiger Moth *** färdiga ***

Our 2nd "Lesser Represented Countries" GB with a slight change to allow any subject, not just aircraft. You must sign up for the specific country and there are no duplicates in this GB and a modeler cannot do the same country(s) as in the previous one.
GB runs 16th May - 19th June and your host is FredK.

Lord, please don't let me screw up now.

Strut glue setting...
Wheels in paint shop ...
Construction bracing to trim from wing struts ...
Cockpit glass to add ....
A few touch-ups here & there ...

No rigging -- too late in the game and the TM is simple enough to get by without, at least on the colorful ones I've done -- maybe a on camo'd trainer another day ...

If you don't love the Tiger Moth, especially in bright colors, you have no heart ....

Good kit, but best of all are the 3 sets of XtraDecal sheets that provide dozens of options.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
