Product and Audience

This Metal Earth kit reproduces the 1930s De Havilland Tiger Moth biplane at moderate difficulty. It contains 20 steel parts and is intended for adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who enjoy detailed scale modelling. No glue or paint is required, though tweezers are recommended for assembly.

Capacity and Headroom

The model assembles to approximately L-3.62, W-2.87, H-.98 inches and includes landing gear with a detailed exterior. It has no openings and the 20 parts provide a complete airframe without interior detail. Builders seeking movable surfaces, cockpit instrumentation or a larger display footprint will find the kit does not meet those needs.

Practical Limits

The finished model is a static display piece made from thin steel sheets; it cannot be flown or motorised. Historical notes describe the original aircraft's 25-knot stall speed and hand-starting procedure, but the replica has no electrical or mechanical function. It arrives in a brand new, officially licensed box with manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Questions about this item

How will the 3.62-inch-long assembled Tiger Moth fit alongside my other 1930s aircraft models?

At 3.62 inches long, 2.87 inches wide and 0.98 inches high the steel biplane occupies a small footprint, so it sits comfortably on a shelf with other early-aviation replicas without crowding them.

What should I check to confirm the 20-part kit has been assembled correctly?

Verify that all twenty steel pieces are connected, the landing gear is fixed in place, the biplane wings align symmetrically and the model matches the detailed exterior shown on the box with no gaps or loose tabs.

Which tools do I need to buy separately to complete the moderate-difficulty kit?

The box contains only the twenty pre-cut steel sheets; no glue or paint is required, but the manufacturer recommends purchasing tweezers or similar fine-nosed pliers to bend and insert the tabs.
