Sorry guys, pressed the wrong key. Post should have asked whether anyone knows details for making scale seats.

Seats were pretty variable. Some were metal andothers were wicker. Over on RC ScaleBuilder Donnie Coe put up a nice little tutorial in BobH's Camel build on how to weave a wicker seat. For my Sopwith Snipe (1/6 scale) I just found a tiny basket and modified it.

Here's a picture of a wicker seat I made for my Sopwith camel.... As Don said you can look at my construction and method over on rcsb, mick reeves, two camels. It's not difficult to make once you get the hang of things.
I would suggest you try to get some interior shots for your Moth to see what kind of seat they used and then just duplicate one for your model.
