kensar Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Completed after 6 months - my Avro 504. This model depicts Avro 504, number 398, as flown by CW Wilson and Rabagliatti on August 25, 1914, when Rabagliatti shot down a German Taube with his rifle, while kneeling in the front seat, to claim the RFC's first air to air victory. I have used a Taurus Oberursel U.0, converted to a Gnome Lambda engine, a Copper State Models pilot figure, Airscale and Archer transfers, and a few Gaspatch turnbuckles. Everything else is made from elemental shapes of styrene, wood, and metal. There is a build thread here: I also have a more detailed build log on WW1aircraftmodels website in the scratchbuilt section. On to the pictures... Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.
