seat, single engine Swedish
biplane from the 1920s. It was
operated by the Swedish Air Force
as an advanced trainer until the
mid-1930s. Mikael Carlson’s
accurate replica is the inspiration
for our
‘Subjects for Scale’
feature
in this issue.

Introduced during the early 1930s when regional commercial
aviation was just getting into its stride, this twin engine type was the
right aeroplane at the right time

spatsmanship
Wheel spats are a vulnerable part of any scale model that uses
them, simply because these are the parts that reach the ground
first in any ill-judged 'arrival'. Here's Peter Holloway's answer

Sweden’s aviation industry has long produced successful ‘home-
grown’ civil and military aircraft. This early trainer is a very attractive
proposition for scale modelling

weden’s aviation heritage and industry is rarely in the
news, yet that heritage goes back as far as most nations.
With a history of go-it-alone neutrality, Sweden has
produced some highly effective aircraft types, both civilian
and warbirds, the latter with highly individualist shapes.
Among these must be counted the WW2-era Saab J-21 pod-and-
twin-boomer that originally had a pusher piston engine; the airframe
then developed into the jet powered J-21R jet. Then, post-WW2
came the Saab J-29 Tunnan, the J-32 Lansen, followed by the
‘double-delta’ J-35 Draken, and the J-37 Viggen.
One of the Swedish early-aviation pioneers was Enoch Thulin
whose manufacturing concern produced a succession of biplane
types up until 1918 when the Thulin Company failed. The torch was
then picked up by aviation engineer Henry Kjellson and aviation
pioneer-cum-naval officer Captain Gosta von Porat. Their co-
operation led to the creation of the
FVM 01 Tummelisa
, a rather
attractively shaped biplane that served as an advanced trainer used
by the Swedish Air Force from 1926 to 1935.
The annual
Flying Legends Air Show
, held each July at the
Imperial War Museum airfield, Duxford has a reputation of including
unusual types in its display program and back in 2007 that included
Mikael Carlon’s suberb Tummelisa replica.
Parked on the display line it was an opportunity for a close-up
detail photo study that your editor could not pass up and which is
part of this month’s
Subjects for Scale
feature.
A really attractive little biplane well worth considering for a scale
flying model.
