Airspeed Oxford MkI, V3354, No 14 Service Flying Training School, RAF Cranfield, 1940

 

 

 

 

 

 

A 1/72nd scale kit from Pavla, which threw up its fair share of problems over and above its limited run origins. I decided from the off to replace some of the resin parts, such as the undercarriage, and added some interior detail and a better rendition of the turret gun mounting. I also replaced the kit gun with a better version from the spares box. The kit was bought second hand, and the decal sheet was cracking. I chose a suitable aircraft from an internet search which had a fairly simple camouflage and markings scheme that could be replicated from my decal stocks and fitted my interest bubble of 1940.

 

The rather protracted build meant this was the only entry I managed for this Group Build, abetted by real life throwing spanners all over the place!

Hi All, 

I have never attempted 3 models in a Group build before but these Hawks are relatively small and even with a bit of resin they go together quite well. 

My last entry here is the1/48 Kinetic T45C Goshawk in US Navy standard scheme. A lovely kit with a good standard of detail. I replaced the canopy with a vacform as mine was cracked. I also replaced the upper rear fuselage with resin and made a new nose probe. I extended the flaps,  slats and air brakes to emphasise the difference to the RAF machines.

 

 

 

 

 

Here are my 3 entries to the group build together with 2 other hawks made previously. 

 

 

More pictures in the build thread. 

Thanks for the comments along the way.

While the camera was out I managed to get a few shots of the Pegasus Miles Master MkI, build thread here:

 

And a sneaky shot of all my Trainers GB builds. I have noticed and fixed the little lump of stuff on the Oxford propeller, and have repaired its aerial, which didn't survive the inverted shot!

 

Thanks for looking,

Not a bad kit, the transfers are a huge improvement, but the forward upper decking and lower wing location needed a little attention. Nothing drastic just a bit of extra filing.
