The superb Oxford Diecast 1/72 scale diecast RAF De Havilland D.H.82A Tiger Moth Trainer, T-6296, as currently on display at RAF Hendon. This is the first release in Oxford's new higher spec " History of Flight" range, & is the first time this iconic aircraft has been widely available in 1/72, as a finished, detailed diecast model. Oxford says: More new tooling adds another great little aircraft to the Oxford airfield. The DH 82 Tiger Moth bi-plane, designed by Geoffrey De Havilland, took to the skies in 1931 and was operated by the Royal Air Force, amongst others, primarily as a training aircraft.
