pierre Giustiniani Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Hello fellows modelers Here's my rendition of an autogiro used by the Royal Air Force for radar calibration during WW2. The kit is from MiniArt and it's a pleasure to build (1/35). Take care Pierre Edited April 17, 2020 by pierre Giustiniani 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petetasker Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi Pierre Superb modelling. Hope you won’t think I’m being pedantic but HM580 is technically a Cierva C.30a rather than a true Avro Rota. ‘580’ was originally a civilian aircraft ex G-ACUU (c/n 726) requisitioned for military service by the RAF hence C.30a designation rather than ‘Rota’. The aircraft is preserved today at Duxford. Again tremendous model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for the discussion we had about her. best regards Pierre Edited April 16, 2020 by pierre Giustiniani 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Looks wonderful and you`ve certainly tempted me into buying one of these! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre Giustiniani Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thank you Tony you can go for it it, the kit is very pleasant to build and have no traps ! Last issue concerns French Aéronavale C30a. With all the boxings, the choice of camouflages, colors, is outstanding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
