Just like a big model Richard,many Tiger Moths have been converted into replicas,the Tiger has a welded steel fuselage that unbolts behind the cockpit just like a Meccano set and this is where the replica aircraft scored,some Rumplers were made for the 'Lawrence of Arabia' film,and some Fokkers for a film called 'Villa Rides' covering a Tiger Moth in fabric ( Irish linen ) is a real experience,I will go into this further in due course you will find it interesting.
