Hey, dakin8888, if you don't like the plane, don't watch the video. Furthermore, you would be hard pressed to find a lot of 'pretty' planes during that period. The real cool ones did not emerge until about ten years later, like the Spitfire and Mustang. The Tiger Moth did what it was designed to do, and was a leader for the time period.
@redleaf57, whilst I agree that dakin8888 is well off the mark, I have to disagree with you when you say that there weren't many pretty aircraft in the early to mid thirties. The Hawker biplanes, the Scheider Cup racers, the DC3, there were far more elegant aircraft around in that period too, in my opinion, more than there are now and furthermore, they were aircraft with so much more character than modern types..
@dakin8888, "useless" in the sense that they trained thousands of aircrew when their countries needed them most? "Loud" as in as loud as any aircraft of their generation, as loud as a Chipmunk or any other aircraft powered by the Gypsy Major? Ugly? Get your eyes checked, beauty may well be in the eye of the beholder but you have no taste, it's official! "Messy", I have no idea how an aircraft can be "messy". Oh and "Incredibly", that's how you spell it.
I think the revell 1/32 kit would make a nice hanging window display. My dad trained on this while in the RAF during W W II.

Think you'll find a Fairey Swordfish torpedo bomber is the aircraft which disabled the Bismarck's rudder.
