I didn't know you were building this as a floater???? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I should have been following more closely!

Looking grand Gerry!
I really like the orange and silver scheme you are going with. hope those struts for the floats don't give you any issues!!

Thanks for the help Warren, It'll be all right I just procrastinated on this one now She's fighting back at least the prop is on, the decals, have the protective paper & the decal fused together, I managed to get them ready. Then the floats fell off twice, Going to work now I need a rest. I've been in Modeling Hell ....

I'm Done I quit, It hit the brick wall Nothing fits this isn't A kit you can rush, never Mind, I hang up My tools, leave the modeling to someone who model ....
Warren: The color is true red Tamiya Pure Red TS-85 My camera changes the tone somewhat, She' sure is prudy bright red.

Yes My Best Yet, only a few other modelers thought so, Let's face it I'm no modeler. And this isn't Facebook. The Tiger Moth isn't smashed really with the brick the plastic was so old that the glue wouldn't stick, It's just in a pile the way it collapsed, on the bench. I am a good modeler, and I'm a innovator, this may intimidate some Here. I'm thinking of doing the struts that keep failing in brass, so there may be life yet for the Tiger Moth, Just no campaign ribbon. I just laid around, and played around this old forum too long. :woohoo:

Ok on the advise of a very good forum friend, I need to ask how to get the wing struts & float struts to stick to the plastic, in this old Matchbox kit.
I like the detail so much that I have considered buying another off of Ebay. It is a very nice, maybe the pilots aren't quite to scale, that could be fixed, with some 1:32 RAF pilots the motor could be detailed more.
My thoughts are make the struts out of brass, which I'm sure I could do maybe add some cross bracing, rods out of smaller brass wire. any thoughts on cement, I've tried Testors Orange tube & CA both won't stick. If I did brass I would extend the tabs so they could be slotted into the fuselage.
