The De Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth is a British training biplane designed in the 1930s. During World War II, it became the primary training aircraft for many Allied countries, including Australia. The RAAF used the Tiger Moth intensively from 1939 to 1945 for primary pilot training, and many aircraft later ended up in civilian flying schools.

The AZmodel 7408 kit offers accurate reproduction of the aircraft’s construction details, typical for the D82A version, such as the specific engine cowling shapes, undercarriage components, and realistic panel lines. Precise decals represent RAAF training aircraft markings. The kit consists of several plastic sprues with parts for self-assembly and painting; glue and paints are not included, offering the freedom to choose preferred finishing products.

The set is intended for both intermediate and experienced aircraft modelers who wish to build a historical World War II aircraft collection. I definitely recommend this kit to every aviation and historical modeling enthusiast due to its precision, historical fidelity, and interesting subject matter.

• Build difficulty level: 2/5
