I third it. Believe me, I brought a lot of previously started models to the Haven when I joined and then got them finished over time. This place has been quite instrumental in keeping me going and helping me finish.
Tiger Moth is looking good man, keep it coming.

Cheers Paul, Pete, and Marco.  I've added the etched parts to the lower fuselage and wing, and a couple of bits of control lines on the lower wing. I've started drilling the rigging holes until I broke the drill bit! You might notice the odd hole on the bottom wing where I drilled straight through. What a muppet! 🙄  |

Problems on open holes using fine drill bits? Who never? (A Brazilian way to say that it happens to everyone)
The bird looks nice!

Looking fine fella. Don’t worry about drilling through, it’s one way of rigging biplanes anyway |

Paul, Boots, Marco, Steve and Ian. Thanks awfully men. I've finished drilling the rigging holes, including eight in the fuselage that I intended to drill all the way through this time.  I then applied a coat of primer. This showed up a few joint seams that will need a bit of filling. I'm going for the overall silver finish with yellow bands.  |

Looking sharp under primer, Joe. This will look great in the silver and yellow.
