Paul J Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Having just completed one for the A/NZ GB, I sought out my already built( a few years ago now) Auster III and decided to mod it slightly to represent an Auster I as LB312/G-AHXE and one I have flown in. Its a two seater only with less cabin glazing to sides and rear. I may need to go back and do a bit more but this is it for now. The modded side window was achieved by just over painting after I dealt with the join between the window and fuselage sides and top. ( Just noticed the tail wheel looks a bit dodgy but has been fixed now) Note: All the transfers used on this rework are from the generic sets by Modeldecal and overlayed the previous markings. the above two pics show both my Austers together. And below pre modifying..... As it looked before with evidece of the mod in progress. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Love them Paul. My first ever flight was in a Auster at the Fenland Aero Club after marshalling an air race. We were invited back and offered a flight, I just missed out on a new shiny Jodal 140(I think) and was gutted. Then came a pilot with the Auster and it was the best missed opportunity I have ever had, loved that flight and the pilot was good too, won the landing competition.

Bit later for me, mid eighties and unfortunately I can no longer find any info on the Auster I flew in, may even have been the very same one though, that is a nice thought.

brianj1uk Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Lovely Austers from what I understand to be a not-so-easy kit. I hope that they reissue the Continental version again as I’ve been lucky to be allowed to fly PH NET recently, an Auster V. I’d love to make a model of it but haven’t been able to find one available anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to get one I guess as it's the only one I ever saw. It had the new engine part as a resin piece. They also did an A.O.P. 6 but I bever got one! I too hope they get 're issued sometime. .
