Airfix Avro 504K

Hello all'

I have had great fun building this over the last few weeks. This was an old bagged kit, but the transfers still worked, although I did use Microscale ones for the roundels, and painted the rudder. I had to leave the rudder serials though. Rigging was EZ-Line and rolled speaker wire. I used an etch set by HP-Model for interior details, but mainly scratchbuilt an interior. I built it for the Airfix Tribute Forum WW1 Group Build, and my reading of the rules says I can show it here, so I hope I am right. I will jus put a few pics, but with luck I may be able to post a link with my new Google Chrome browser, which I could raely do with MS Explorer.

I did not correct the fuselage issues, but did turn the wheels round so the conical section was innermost, as per Ray Rimell's advice in magazines.

All the best, and thanks for looking, Regards, Ray

That really looks the business. That's definitely in the spirit of Mike 'Circuits and Bumps' builds.

Mike Grant is a Hero of mine for what he manages to do.

Thanks for the comments, regards, Ray

I added a few extra details apart from the HR-Model etch set. I tried to represent the fuel pipes (I think) that come down from the upper wing - those were my finest plastic rod painted copper, a mount for the wind powered generator on the starboard forward cabane strut, and the windscreens, although they may be a bit big. I think they show in the photographs.

I think that should be all, I hope I have not overdone the pics.

All the best everyone, and thanks for being so kind with your comments. Kind regards, Ray
