Tigermoth to Foxmoth

[spaceshiprepairman]

Before I logged in here, I wanted to see if any kind of discussion about converting a Tigermoth model to a Foxmoth. I have the Matchbox 1/32 Tigermoth, and have been going through DeHavilland's histroy, and found the Foxmoth, and promptly fell in love with that tubby lady. So, after I found a discussion on the subject, I logged in(in reality, I had tried when I found the discussion, but lost the password, so had to go about getting a new one), but couldn't find the discussion again. 

 

Could I start a new thread on that? I like the Foxmoth, and wouldn't mind "going all out" with it, including passenger seats.

Welp, I found the thread.

Thanks to John Adams expertise, there was a great thread on this, possibly the one you found with some excellent info about wing root angles & such like.

Steve,

A year ago or so my brother (JWM here) has created  the 1/72 Fox Moth based on the Tiger Moth kit.

The result you can see there

Of course in 1/32 you will have to work a little bit longer

Cheers

I believe that Neil at AiM is working on a Fox Moth in both 1:72 and 1:48 at the moment.

Yes, I know that I have a scale that is a bit bigger. I'm wondering if I could use the Tiger moth fuselage and add structure.
