Why this kit matters
The de Havilland DH.60 Moth series was one of the most influential light aircraft of the 1920s and 1930s. Designed for private flying, training, and liaison duties, it helped establish civil and military aviation across the British Commonwealth.
The DH.60X variant equipped with floats allowed operation from harbours and coastal waters. In New Zealand, these aircraft supported early RNZAF training and communications, reflecting a period when air power relied on adaptable light aircraft to serve remote regions and maritime environments.
