The De Havilland DH.82A Tiger Moth was a training biplane developed for the Royal Air Force. Its maiden flight took place in 1931, with series production beginning in 1932. The aircraft featured a simple and durable design, making it ideal for training both beginner pilots and those preparing for combat flights. By the end of World War II, more than 8,000 Tiger Moths had been produced, serving not only in Great Britain but also in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Tiger Moth was of greatest importance during World War II, when hundreds of Allied pilots made their first flying steps on it. Highly characteristic of British training airfields, it was operated by the RAF and the air forces of Commonwealth countries. In many nations, it remained in service long after the conflict ended, also with civilian aviation.

The ICM 32019 kit enables reproduction of the aircraft’s slender silhouette and subtle structural details, including the engine and pilot cabins. It is an excellent choice for both moderately advanced and experienced modelers interested in classic military aviation. The assembly difficulty is rated at 3/5: the model requires precision and patience, but shouldn't pose a challenge to those with experience in building large-scale kits.

I recommend this set to all enthusiasts of World War II aviation, especially fans of training aircraft. The model serves as an excellent base for improvement and can be a key element of airfield dioramas or a classic RAF aircraft collection.
