Title: Airfix 1/72nd Avro 504K
Post by: Bolman on October 24, 2019, 06:15:25 AM: Hey Folks,

Finally finished this old Avro I started a few years back. Paints are a mix of Floquil and Testors enamels. The CDL is a color I mixed. Rigging is 0.003" mono filament line. Decals are from the kit.

Nice work

I have never found 0.003" monofilament. Where did you get it?

Ken, It's actually Tippet line for fly tying. I found it at a Bass Pro Shop and I picked the 8X version. If I recall, it's about a pound and a half test strength.

Post by: lone modeller on October 30, 2019, 07:42:13 AM: Great to see you back - and with another winner. I too built this when it was first released and enjoyed it very much, but mine too was nowhere near as good as this and was not rigged either. The colours look very good - nice contrast between the CDL and PC 10.

BTW the old Avro can be used as a basis for many conversions and semi-scratch builds - worth having a few spare for that reason alone.

Stephen.

Painting and rigging are first class.
