Hi, 

The Avro 504 is very well known subject - the WW-I fighter which bacame then trainer and in this new role was still in service in some countries at the outbreak of WWII. One of such countries was Belgium. I did it within GB abroad GB and some construction work is documented there. The kit was A-model float version of Avro 504 K, I made the conversion to late variant, the 504 N on wheels. 

Here she is:

Excellent little 504N, JW! I've always wanted to do a Greek one - I believe they were still in service at the beginning of the Second World War also. What some people may not know is that a few 504s were impressed into RAF service during the Second World War. Your 16th model?! I won't even say how many I've completed so far this year...

 

Regards,

Very nice indeed Jerzy, as always. How does the A Model kit build?

Thanks! 

well - so it was like typical A-model. Plastic is  rather soft and each element needs some care before you glue in. Here is thread from build
