Here is the er, 'finished' Auster. Sharp-eyed readers will note the absence of struts for wings etc. These fell victim to my 'CBA'* approach to modelling and were replaced by more glue. Bearing all that in mind, it looks quite reasonable.
I opted for British markings - which the box describes as 'RAF'. Of course, this is actually a machine of the Army Air Corps serving as an airborne observation post - a role in which the Auster served until the mid 1960s. This is the role it will take as part of my
Little Cold Wars project.

Turned out nice Tim- how will this influence the game? Extra shots with the spring mortar?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Very nice indeed.

ReplyDeleteFor observed artillery fire you loose off a matchstick and if you don't like the fall of shot, you can try again - but the second shot is then the one which counts.

ReplyDeleteThanks - given the start, the end was OK.
Silk purse out of a pigs ear Tim!
ReplyDeleteWhats a spar or two between wings?
