The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) was one of many services around the world to use the Tiger Moth for pilot training during WW II, contributing 12 flying schools to the Empire Air Training Scheme. Tiger Moths first made their appearance in Australia as civil aircraft for a number of flying clubs. By 1935 the RAAF was looking for a new aircraft ...
The Revel kit is a re-release of the old Matchbox kit, dating from the late 1970s. With just a little extra work it can be brought up to something that will not look out of place even in the company of much more modern kits. It’s also still the only option for a Tiger Moth in this scale. It makes a good first kit for those considering getting into ...
What follows is a description of the additional work I chose to undertake. However, please don’t take my modifications as definitive, as some of the configuration I have chosen reflects A17-613 as it looks today, even though I have modelled it with the markings it would have had during the second half of WW II. The principal modern difference is th...
My biggest ‘unknown’ was rigging, however I think it worked out ok, with only 4 of 10 done twice, and this was my first attempt. Rigging is “Prym knitting-in elastic” (from Wingnut Wings), with Gaspatch turnbuckles for the standing rigging, and Ezyline for the control cables. My starting point was to very securely mount the upper wing centre sectio...
All painting was done with enamels. The major colour is Humbrol gloss yellow, weathered and faded with Revel white (it stays white). The upper wing roundels were painted using home-made masks as this permits more weathering effects than decals alone, and the blue used by the RAAF was known to fade badly. Serials came from generic sheets. Only very ...
Overall, I was surprised at how well this kit responded to just a limited amount of refining, as the original mouldings are still surprisingly good. As a learning exercise for rigging it’s great as it has a fairly simple scheme and, being relatively cheap, I wasn’t put off by the thought of making a terminal mistake. Being bright yellow it’s also m...

The de Havilland DH.82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s British biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. It was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and other operators as a primary trainer aircraft.
The Tiger Moth formed the backbone of Commonwealth flying training during the Second World War with over 8,000 being produced, and war surplus aircraft re-established many flying clubs in the post-war period.
