Good Folks,

I'm falling in love with the Tiger Moth and want to build a model replica to keep my two De Havilland Beavers company. The two Beavers are R/C controlled and are 1/8th scale.

If I decide, finally, to build a Tiger Moth, I'll be looking for scale details like color schemes and stories to tell of a particular craft's history.

One particular question I have is:
What is the difference between a Tiger Moth (D.H.82) and the Gypsy Moth?
