Australia built Tiger Moths. Wikipedia (yes, I know) lists New Zealand, Sweden, Norway and Portugal as builders - not assemblers It isn't easy to dig that information out of McKay's 'DeHavilland Moths in Detail' as the cronology of production is spread through the various model types so I'll ask you How many countries of production are you disputing?

mozart Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Not “disputing” in the slightest Richard, sounds rather confrontational to me and that’s not my style at all. I note that Wikipedia says: 132 Tiger Moths were completed in New Zealand by de Havilland Aircraft of New Zealand. 23 were built in Sweden as the Sk.11 by AB Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning, 91 were built in Portugal by OGMA, and another 38 in Norway by Kjeller Flyfabrikk (some sources say 37 so the first may have been assembled from a kit) in addition to a large number of aircraft that were assembled from kits shipped from the UK.

Then please accept my apologies. I'm very aware that text based forums like this are open to misinterpretation It still leaves 'British' aeroplanes being built in Canada and Australia - and I doubt either country would think of themselves as British* Richard *I lived in Quebec for a while so I'm aware of what they may think of Brits Out2gtcha and mozart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hello Simon , any hint about what's in the works 'after' the Moth ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wings Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi Mike, All I can say is that we will stick to the 32 scale. We currently have two open projects, one German and one Japanese. Obviously we will be selecting some American subject to continue the line we started few years ago. S.

Regards topper71 Hello Topper. Some good suggestions there but for the German plane I’d love it to be a Bucker Bu181 Bestmann! A beautiful little aeroplane and extensively used for pilot training. There are examples around for Simon and his team to examine and of course the Bestmann was used by other countries so lots of cool colour schemes out there. Some were also used late war in a tank busting role, so room for AM stuff or scratch building! Edited November 16, 2019 by mozart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d welcome the Bf108 Troy, the others don’t do it for me but then, heck, I’ll have the Tiger Moth, Demon, Siskin, Bulldog and Hart keeping me busy!

nmayhew Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 i'm not sure if it's really what you 'do' at Silverwings, but I have always had a soft spot for some of the German reconnaissance planes and also German seaplanes I made as a boy from the likes of Matchbox the seaplanes would all probably be huge in 1/32, but there is certainly lots of variety there the reconnaissance planes might work though? German = naturally sells as people like the bad guys (for whatever reason, and no wish to discuss why etc) quirky = no-one else is going to do one not too big = cost kept within reason not a biplane = because everyone apart from WNW devotees hates rigging (joke) i am normally a boring Me109, Fw190 guy, but I would buy one of these in 1/32 in a heartbeat, and would put down a deposit if needed Fanes, Kagemusha and mozart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The Henschel fits the bill Nick, as would a Storch. I’m on the lookout for a SW wheeled He 51, not that many around to be had sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
