1/72 Airfix Avro 504

[Aircav]

[Army of One]

Thorvic.....yes, many thanks.....I'd imagine it be pretty crisply moulded being from that manufacturer.....

[McColm]

2 x Revel 1/72 Eurofighter Typhoons single seater
I thought of building one as a drone and the other in the Fleet Air Arm colours with a twist.

Nice kit.....comes with a free NATO weapon kit as well doesn't it....

[Mossie]

No, the Tiffy comes free with the weapons set!

There's another one like that, the Airfix 1/72 Tornado GR.4.  It's worth buying for the weapons alone, the kits 'alright', but it's cheap enough to put the weapons and sensor bits on the Revell GR.1 kit, pop the Airfix kit in the spares bin and still have a ton of weapons left over.

The Tonka comes with resin parts.
I haven't opened the boxes to check.

[Mossie]

The one I've got is all injection.

[Army of One]

What weapons do you get with the Airfix tonka then...?? My 4yr old has asked me about having one for his room....this could kill two birds with one stone.....

[Mossie]

EDIT Off the top of my head:  Looked at the kit:

ALARM x3 x2
Stormshadow x2
British Paveway III II x2
British Paveway IV III x2
Sidewinders
TIALD
Boz flare pod
Skyshadow ECM x2
RAPTOR recce pod
British 1,000lb bombs x8
1,500 ltr IDS tanks x2
2,250 ltr ADV Hidnenburger tanks x2
Extra fairings specific to the GR.4

It's the original GR.1/1A kit with extra sprues to update it to the GR.4.  The kit is far from fantastic (raised panel lines, poor detail, badly fitting), but should be great for a four year old who wants to bang it together in an afternoon.  It's oop, but you can get it from ebay or a show.  Grab the Revell GR.1 to update it to a GR.4, or put the weapons on whatever you want (or both, as you'll have enough weapons left for other projects)!

From eBay which was a surprising find for me a Novo 1/96 De Havilland Comet 4 and a 1/72 Frog Avro Shackleton MR3.
