1/72 Avro York


Recommended Posts

Nothing to criticize there Alan, that is just as wonderful as your previous two RFIs. I really like the York in these colours & would love to see it as a mainstream kit. seeing yours, I might have to try to see if I can stump up for the CMR conversion if its still available. :unsure: Even Contrail vac form conversions go for silly money & I'm not sure how the CMR kit would go with a slightly more affordable & much more available Airfix kit? Thanks a heap for putting these up Alan.

I did wonder about your York avatar myself so thanks for posting your gorgeous model,...it looks fantastic in the early camouflage colours.

Could I just ask about the nose badge please,...is it a RNZAF insignia?

Cheers

Impressive (thinking about buying CMR conversion)

Good idea. I have a couple, a York conversion and a Mk II conversion. This way I only need 1 donor kit. Of course there is now an Airfix mk II availiable. Still, should be a good fun trying the conversion.....

Hi Tony,

It's the RAF 511 squadron badge.

Glad you like the model.

Lovely job! The York is my favorite civil prop aircraft - I think it even trumps the Lancaster for looks. You got just the right ammount of weathering on here for my taste.

Very, very nice indeed. Well made and a nice point of interest in any display cabinet.

I've really never given this aircraft much more than a passing thought, but it really does look quite cool.

Cheers
