Answer Model Art AVRO 504K in 1/33rd

[NinetythirdLiberator]

Sorry it's been a while, folks.  But I'm back!  I got all the rigging done, control wires (doubles) and now I'm working on the tail skid and then the landing gear/skid.  Should be fun!

Thanks for looking...Dan

Great work Dan. Always a joy to see your work.

Man o man Dan!  You make these kits look so well. I’ve followed several of your builds and honestly have to take three or four looks to tell it’s not a molded kit. Very impressive!

Lovely work Dan! I hope to get to my own soon thanks to your thread and video acting as inspiration.

[NinetythirdLiberator]

Thanks to all as usual!

I started to get the landing gear together and did a few mods to make it more manageable for me like using V-struts for the skid connections rather than two separate wires for each component.  I also did the tail skid and made the wing tip skids out of soft fuse wire.

Looking good if going slowly.  The end is in site, though!

Cheers and thanks for looking...Dan

Lovely work, Dan! My own copy edges closer back to The Bench...

[Tim Mixon]

Neat stuff Dan!  I love the Avro and your really doing this one well!

[NinetythirdLiberator]

Thanks, Zac and Tim.  Your comments are much appreciated! 

I got the axle on, the main bungee gear legs installed and the whole thing rigged.  All she needs now are wheels and tires.  Then the top (what I assume is a gravity fed) gas tank and it'll basically be finished. 

More soon...Dan

Lovely work Dan, looks just like a bought one! I'm intrigued to see how you tackle the wheels.
