ICM DH.82A Tiger Moth 1:32 – build review

Full review with Dave Coward

Kit Ref: 32035

Background

Having made Airfix’s 1:72nd and 1:48th Tiger Moths I was very interested to try ICM’s 1:32nd offering especially given how good their Gladiator and Stearman had been. Matchbox had previously made a 1:32nd Tiger Moth but these went out of production many years ago but can be found on eBay now and again and actually are still quite good models. That said it is time for a new tool and ICM have provided it, so let’s see how it builds.

Here’s a quick look at the finished model with the Airfix 1:48th and 1:72nd kits in the background – some forced perspective photography trickery!!
