The first appearance of this airplane coincided with its entry in the King’s Cup Race in 1933. Three Leopards entered, taking the top 3 places with Captain de Havilland taking first. This model is as stable and reliable as its namesake.
This kit is a 1:20 scale model, a stable, reliable, and consistent flier. Pre-1942 design, eligible for Society of Antique Modelers (SAM) contests.
This free flight rubber powered kit contains a full-size rolled plan, hand-picked printed balsa and balsa strip wood, rubber motor, E-B propeller, EBM thrust bearing, clear plastic for the windshield, wheels, landing gear wire, and Easy Built Lite tissue in black and light gray. To build this model you will need a building board, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, and glue.
CUSTOMER BUILDS & INFO:
"Model was built from your Leopard moth kit. Kit wood, your silver tissue. I think the only change I made was to build the stab in one piece and glue it above the top longeron, not on the side. Model went well indoors and is just great outside."Clive Gamble
