David@ SBX Model Shop Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This is my attempt at a Royal Navy AS4 Avenger. It is based upon the Academy Avenger with a Quickboost ASH radar fitted. The decals are from Xtradecal and went on like a dream. The aircraft is currently sitting here with its Pledge Multi-Surface Wax finish which was for the decals. I have the canopy to line out and fit. It should then be finished, Before I fit the canopy I am going to try a coat of Satin Varnish so that it shines but not as much as it does at the moment. The Quickboost radar doesn't come with any fittings so I had to search out a photo and scratch build the mounting out of plastic card. It may not be perfect against an actual AS4 but it is close enough for me.

Howard Moon Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It's looking very good David. I think you are right about a satin finish in this scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Lovely build. It's nice to see an unusual Avenger conversion rather than one of the "run of the mill" USN beasts. It makes an interesting change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
