Avro Rota - 529 Radar Calibration Sqn - 5 RMU, 1448 (RC) Flt

[Ed Russell]

Here's my Azur 1/72 Avro Rota.....

The model is based on this picture which was identified as 'possibly K4239' of 5 RMU.

There's a build thread here

And here it is on a 'representative' base with a couple of figures for scale. It really is a small model even in 1/72.

Thanks for looking. It was such fun I'm going to do an Aeronavale one.

Very interesting WiP and a great result - good job!

It is tiny isn't it

[Michal @ MKM]

Nice indeed, Ed. pretty well captures the subject! However, the Aeronavale one (if you intend to build the LeO.30) would require more work, either using Azur kit or RS Model as a basis!

[Mr Modeller]

Superb build Ed, can't remember the last time I saw one of these in model form, you've done a cracking job and the base just sets it off nicely - very well done!!

Nice work, Ed!

That is really smart.

[TheBaron]

A delicate and beguiling object. Very nice piece of work indeed.

Bravo!

Perfect little off-beat subject! I really like that, and shall have to track one down.

Great build and detailing of an interesting and unusual subject.

[Ed Russell]

Thanks for the comments

Indeed it would. As a minimum, changing the engine, door(s) and propeller is on the list.

I really like that, and shall have to track one down.

They are extremely rare but there is a new RS Models kit available which looks very similar.

Looks great, especially considering its size. A very interesting and characterful subject beautifully rendered.

Very nice Ed,....it looks great in its trainer colours,......but very intricate,.....my eyes wouldn`t manage at the moment with anything like that,....so double well done!

Cheers
