Airfix 1/48 De Havilland DH.82a Tiger Moth # 04104A

The De Havilland DH.82a Tiger Moth was a biplane trainer aircraft that was widely used by the Royal Air Force and other air forces throughout the British Empire during World War II.

It was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and first flew in 1931.

The Tiger Moth was a rugged and reliable aircraft that was easy to fly and maintain, making it an ideal trainer for new pilots.

It was powered by a 4-cylinder de Havilland Gipsy Major engine and had a top speed of around 109 mph (175 km/h).

The aircraft had a two-seat open cockpit and was constructed primarily of wood and fabric.

In addition to its role as a trainer, the Tiger Moth was also used for a variety of other purposes, including aerial photography, crop spraying, and even as a glider tug.

After the war, many Tiger Moths were sold to civilian operators and remained in use as trainers and sport aircraft.

Today, the Tiger Moth is a popular vintage aircraft and is still flown by enthusiasts around the world.
