Avro Anson - XIX T.20/21/22/C.21

Front undercarriage legs complete, I still need to sort out the main wheel and create locating holes in the wing. Tail wheel to do still too!

After the undercarriage is done, there is only the radiator baffles and exhaust to complete :)

Looks good! Are you planning in the future on offering the gunnery training variant with rear turret? 

Did the late mark Anson ever have a rear turret, I thought that was only the early version with the wood wing and lower fuselage?

@Kushan_Farsight my original intention was to offer both the early and late versions of the Anson (starting with the late version as Classic Airframes make a [very expensive] kit of the early version), however,  the only common parts between the early and late versions are the rudder and undercarriage!

I'm calling this done :)

It's far from perfect, but how many late mark Ansons are available as scale models!?

 

I'm getting fairly efficient with these now, this whole design has taken only 2 weeks, working about 3 hours a day.

Any 'Test Shots' of the model in resin form available yet? Looks Great! 

 

I've hit a production issue! 

 

I can CAD model at a decent rate and produce a complete design in a month or two. 

 

The only trouble is, it takes a week to print one model and I've only just finished printing the last of 25 1/48 Fairey IIIFs!

 

I'll be printing Chipmunks next which will take a couple more months. Until I can speed up production (new printer), I'm afraid these projects are going to take months to get printed :(

How much is the 1/48 Anson likely to be?

Not a clue yet! But I would guess around £60-£80... 

 

I wouldn't get your hopes up about seeing this anytime soon though, it's just a hobby for me and my little printer doesn't have the capacity to keep up with what I've been printing! 

 

If I decide to offer this as a kit, it won't be until spring or summer.

Yes, unfortunately, at the moment I am struggling with my printer as it keeps freezing mid print. I've raised a help ticket with anycubic and I may need a new motherboard. 

 

This has totally thrown my schedule...

Hey dude, 

 

Can't help with the Anycubic but needed to quote you to get your attention. If you're still looking for a vacuform ( and don't mind expenditure) then I've just seen an advert for something called a "Mayku Formbox". Could go miles for reproducing your 3D print masters as well?
