STEEL RAF DH.82 TIGER MOTH

This is a folded sheet metal model of a DH.82 Tiger Moth training aircraft. The Tiger Moth was a primary flight trainer, and nearly 9000 were produced through 1944. It takes about two hours to complete the flat kit, and you risk cutting yourself on the sharp edges. It is like making origami airplanes, but out of steel instead of paper. It came in the post from China for about $3.
