canberra kid Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 This is my old(ish) 1/72 Airfix AVRO 504, I've recently refurbished her. Yes I know it's not a Canberra! John 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 We don't see many of these built john, let alone in Irish markings, lovely little refurb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Very nice build. More photos possible? Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 That is very nice. Don't see many Airfix 504's built and IAC aircraft ain't exactly common on this forum, so doubly welcome. It may not be a Canberra but Avro did build some under licence, so there is a very tenuous connection! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks Chaps! I hadn't thought of the AVRO/Canberra connection! More photo's J-W John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 WOW ! That is WAY COOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thank you John! Very nice work indeed . Thou I am doing only machines from conflicts 1935-45, Avro 504 is inside my field of interest - not "K" but later, "N" variant. The 504 N survived till WWII in some countries like Belgium, for instance... I have it in my stash ("K" to convert), waiting for her turn Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 More proof that old Airfix kits can be made to look fantastic, with plus points for the IAC scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks again all, Natter, you're dead right with a little love and detail most old kits can scrub up well! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Having had the few plastic bits rattling in a plastic bag that are supposed to make an Avro 504, I find it hard to believe I am looking at the same thing.... after a tiny weeny bit of TLC from you... Totally amazing and the rigging is just superb! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
