Tiger Moth
Typically for a small model and in the spirit of the
traditional kits, profiles are simplified and adjusted
from the original and a relatively large propeller
is used. This is done so that the model is light
and stable enough to fly on its own, is simple in
construction and can work with the rubber motor.
These adjustments have been done with care and
sensitivity so that the shape and spirit of the original
aircraft is preserved as much as possible. Also in
the spirit of the traditional kits, additional items
required to build the model are things that can be
found in the kitchen drawer or are easily available
on the high street.
