DH.94 Moth Minor Coupe "Travel and Sport Plane"

In 1937, the De Havilland company designed the DH.94 Moth Minor as a modern replacement for the DH.82 Tiger Moth biplane. De Havilland had produced the type for civilian customers until 1940, when it switched to military production. The civilian machines were confiscated for the needs of the RAF. These were used in the utility and liaisons role. The Moth Minor was designed with open cockpits. For more wealthy customers, the De Havilland company prepared a Coupé version with a closed cabin for two people. The first airframes were built during the war, other machines were built and also converted from Moth Minors with open cockpits. As tourist and sports, these Moth Minors flew until the 1970s, when their technical service life ended. However, several have undergone general repairs and are still flying today.

The Moth Minor kit consists of two sprues of plastic parts and a single sprue with a clear canopy. The decals feature three colourful civilian aircraft flying in the British Isles and one aircraft flying in New Zealand.
