Hi Andy,
As DaveWG says I'm really looking forward to the results too!
NL878 as depicted in the model kit I did; was credited as being the last Biplane to fly from an aircraft carrier.
This took place on board HMS Eagle while she was undergoing sea trials in the Western Channel, following an extensive refit at Devonport Dockyard in 1964.
On the 20th June that year, it was suggested that in order to give the deck crews some practice in aircraft handling using the new equipment, prior to her receiving her squadrons; to ask if 'Britannia Flight's' Tiger Moths being close at hand (Plymouth), might like to provide some aircraft and gain a little mutual training!
And so it was, NL878 being the last off the deck!

I had to have a bit of a chuckle here ... no hook required , catapult travels faster the than the Tiggie and you could probably (sideways) takeoff from the starboard side to the port side with room to spear
Ive been looking around online, trying to work out how Roborough looked when these tiggies were flying from there, there's a few modern Plymouth scenery's out there, but it might be a nice idea to retro the stock EGHD when these tiggies arrive.
cheers ian
Ooh!, now there's an idea Ian!
If memory serves, it was to all intents and purposes a collection of wooden huts left over from the Second World War, accompanied by 2 (I think) Bellman hangars. When there was a flight of Gloster gladiators in residence. Oh!, and grass of course not Tarmac, that came later!
I'll see what I can find as well, nice idea Ian👍😉

OK, here is a WIP screenshot. I'm focusing on XL714 as the base paint, with others to follow. There is still quite a bit to do. The tail (elevators) are missing their dayglo and the colours are looking very "flat" because I'm still working on the spec and alphas. With these in place it should come alive, especially in terms of that tricky dayglo, which is always tough to get right.
I'm about to drive across country to care for a family member undergoing surgery this week, so although I may have a chance to check forums my work these repaints will go on hold for the remainder of the week. I was hoping to get one published before I left, but I've simply run out of time. I may then end up publishing them all as a package.
cheers
Andy

I'm back in action and the base paint is almost done. I think you'll agree the flatness of the paint without spec and alphas has completely gone (besides the elevators, which need finishing). Believe it or not the RGB of the grey and dayglo etc haven't changed at all... it all comes down to the extras and the lighting (e.g. the dayglo doesn't glow as much in cloudy conditions, whereas what you're seeing here is noon on a cloudless summers day)!

Liking what I see as well Andy; makes me glad I put the request forward now!
It suits the Tiger Moth very well indeed, nice crisp looking markings too, well done!
As a matter of interest; the 'tail code' letter, for this Tiggie was grey as you've correctly done. Where as other ones were in Dayglo orange; maybe 714s came off leaving the adhesive behind? Nice attention to detail Mate!
Look forward to the finished article!
ChipShop👍😉
I am as well.Look forward to the finished article!
Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?
Hi Andy,
I'm sure it's a case of no news is good news, BUT; how's she coming along?
Appetites are well and truly whetted, I can assure you!
Looking forward to the next stage,
Ttfn,

I did those pesky elevators yesterday. Now I just need to do the bit you haven't seen yet... the bottom of the fuselage...

Hi Andy,
How are things coming along in the Tiger Moth hangar? No news is good news I hope?
Don't forget to let me know about the Gliding Club photos you want taken Mate!
Look forward to an update on things,
All the Best,

Hiya Andy,
Not heard from you in quite a while!
We're all wondering how the Tiger Moths are progressing? It'd be great to hear from you and of course to see/enjoy, the finished results of your hard work!
Hope all's Ok buddy,
Cheers for now,

I'm still around, just busy as hell, way more than anticipated. Thanks for your continued interest and support. I don't have a whole lot more to do to finish it, I just need the time. I hesitantly say later next week might provide an opportunity... watch this space...
