The First Step into the Clouds for Thousands of Pilots

The Tiger Moth entered service in the 1930s and became the primary basic training aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and many other Commonwealth air forces. Its simple yet robust fabric-covered construction and reliable Gipsy Major engine were absolutely ideal for novice aviators. The aircraft did not forgive gross errors, forcing pilots into precise flying. Thanks to this machine, Britain was able to train a massive number of outstanding fighter pilots for the Battle of Britain and subsequent wartime operations.

A Rich Selection of Variants in 1:72 Scale

A true feast for the eyes awaits you in this category. The Oxford and Aviation 72 brands offer an amazing palette of executions. You will find classic yellow trainers, camouflaged wartime versions, brightly colored civil aircraft (such as those from Brooklands Aviation), and even rarely seen naval variants equipped with floats instead of standard wheeled landing gear. Fine details like wing rigging, struts, and open cockpits perfectly complement the heavy metal construction, making each model a true collector's gem.
