If you can find one, the Aeroclub jig is very good.

I use use this contraption- it is for 1/72 scale and is Polish I can find the name of the maker if you want.  It comes as a kit and you have to construct it.

I ordered the 1/48 -1/32 plywood biplane jig that Mark shows in his post from UMM-USA / Unique Master Models here in the USA.  

 

Here's their ordering information JH4802 Biplane - Wooden jig stand & transport 1/48 & 1/32 scale (JH 4802).  Shipping was fast.  

 

Two assemble issues with the jig; I think the instructions included are for the 1/72 jig and the 1/48 jig's parts are a little different.  But if you can build a WWI bi-plane its no big deal.  One of the wood pieces didn't have the laser holes made so I used a similar part as a pattern and drilled them out and a bolt and nut were missing from the set.  Not a big deal either, trip to the hardware store and I had it finished.  

 

I haven't had a chance to use it yet but am working on the AZ Models Gotha kit so will have it in service shortly.
