    How's about this one Nigel? (another Avro paint)







    Continuing the story of ol' 53 ; has now been impressed into RAAF service at 107 Sqn ; based at Rathmines NSW, as a training 'hack'

    The serial is taken from a Tiger Moth which was written off in a crash btw.

    Comments welcome as usual

    Superb paint Pete! The Avro floater looks right at home in RAAF colours!

    Need to download a couple of fonts I'm missing to finish this up. Then I have plans for another that Mick will love!

    ps. Nigel, did you ever do a model with Lynx engine and no cowls at all? ie Townend ring removed?

    I thought there was one in beta pack, but can't find it now.

    Is this the one you're looking for, Pete?



    You'll find it in your main '_AVRO Tutor' folder:

    'AVRO 621 Tutor RAF Early Cowl'

    Or did you have something Stearman...ish in mind, with a completely exposed Lynx?

    I can work with whatever arrives, but if you can make them er, look a bit used and abused, so much the better.

    thanks Nigel.

    Okay, I'll put a couple of new models together (I presume you want both wheeled and float versions, don't you?).

    As for wear'n tear - no promises...but there are some experts among us, when it comes to talking 'dirty'.

    One question, though: "Can you fly her?"
