{"product_id":"1792104291-8be69fa2","title":"Tiger Moth Model Plane Balsa Wood Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eTiger Moth model plane balsa kit is designed for you to build a traditionally constructed, rubber powered, free flight model of a DH.82A Tiger Moth. The kit includes the materials (other than paints) to complete the suggested authentic scheme of a yellow Royal Australian Air Force Tiger Moth. This particular aircraft was privately imported into Australia in 1936 and pressed into service for the RAAF at the Temora Elementary Flying Training School in 1940. Having left service after the war, it was eventually donated to the Temora Aviation museum where it is now based.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the model from this kit uses the traditional method of \"stick and tissue\", that consists of a built up balsa wood skeleton (framework), covered with a tissue skin. The balsa frameworks are built over a plan that is printed at the exact scale of the model, which is in essence a real engineering drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is provided by rubber strip motor that is wound up before flight. Free flight means just that – once the model is launched, it is on its own. It must follow a predetermined flight path established when the model is initially adjusted for flight or \"trimmed\". This type of traditional building technique and flying requires a degree of patience and skill, but is extremely rewarding. Also in the spirit of the traditional kits, additional items required to build the plane model are things that can be found in the kitchen drawer or are easily available on the high street. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel plane kits are the perfect gift idea for Father’s Day. It is more than just a gift – it’s a bonding experience that brings generations together. Spend quality time with your dad as you work side by side to build and customize your model plane. Once assembled, the model plane serves as a stunning display piece that adds a touch of vintage charm to any home or office. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Model Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59220144259404,"sku":"TTM","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/4530\/6188\/files\/TTM1.jpg?v=1793624787","url":"https:\/\/thebritishemporium.com\/products\/1792104291-8be69fa2","provider":"The British Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
