Anthony in NZ Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I got asked on another forum if I could show pics of my Auster I am rebuilding to stock military configuration and flight. I thought most of you knew. Here she is In the background here Foreground Recent times You can see who my modelling gets distracted at times, 11 years so far and a labor of love for authenticity and completeness Cheers Anthony Alain Gadbois, MikeC, dennismcc and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Cracking project Anthony! Iain Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Gotta love an Auster, and it looks superb in the silver and dayglo scheme. I notice it seems to have an RAF serial number in the first pic and "HKG4" (if I've read that correctly) in the second. Transferred to Hong Kong Auxiliary AF perchance?

seiran01 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Looking great! I'm surprised I haven't seen/heard any updates from you on the restoration in so long. We really do stink at keeping in touch, don't we? Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdthoresen Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Wow, Anthony, that is some cracking good work. You are a bit further along than I am with my restoration, but I am working towards the same stage as you to get my fuselage back together and on it’s gear again. Looking absolutely awesome! Thor, who would rather be working on his Luscombe than an E-2D today…… Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
