This kit is a disappointment; it does not echo the excellent quality of the main Tiger Moth kit. I'll highlight some of the issues here. MISSING PARTS The surrounds to the joysticks are identified in the instructions and shown in the product photo but are missing from the kit. Model Shop Leeds has confirmed this and contacted Tony Ray who responded saying that it was an error in the instructions - this is nonsense because they are clearly shown on the product photo. Disappointed with Tony Ray's flippant response and his failure to own the problem. These are not major parts, I'm sure most modellers will be able to fabricate replacements, but it would have been nice if there had been more honesty and ownership of this issue. 3D PRINTED SEATS The 3D prints for the two seats are pretty poor, having some of the worst layer lines and printer artefacts that I have seen for some years. There will always be layer lines, but modern printers are capable of much better than this. They are serviceable, but it will take a fair amount of filling and sanding. INCORRECTLY MARKED PARTS Some of the wooden parts have direction arrows to help with assembly, the problem is that some are wrong pointing in the wrong direction. Not really a problem as long as you dry-fit before applying CA glue rather than blindly following the instructions. There is also a valid argument that this should have been included in the relatively expensive Tiger Moth kit. Overall, with more work than should be necessary it will build up to a fairly decent Tiger Moth cockpit, besides it is the only option I am aware of other than scratch building. I'm not saying you should avoid it, just letting you know of the issues, so they are not a surprise to anyone expecting the same level of quality as the main Tiger Moth kit.
