The Airfix De Havilland Tiger Moth Model Kit is a great choice for any model collection.From the perspective of a student pilot, the de Havilland Tiger Moth was a relatively stable and forgiving aircraft to fly, possessing few handling vices and being generally supportive of the odd silly mistake by the novice pilot.  It quickly gained a reputation as being aneasy aeroplane to fly, but a difficult one to fly well, qualities which seemed to make this the ideal aircraft to serve as a primary/basic trainer for large numbers of pilots destined to fly operationally during WWII.  At the start of the war, the RAF had around 500 Tiger Moths in service but would requisition hundreds more from flying clubs up and down the country. The model kit captures this aircraft in 1:48 scale and its ideal for experienced model collectors. With two scheme options, its made up of 91 parts and recreates the Tiger Moth in authentic detail.
