1/72 Armstrong Whitworth A.W. 47 Antares

[The Big Gimper]

Here is my second of 5 A.W. aircraft which were successful in their own right but got forgotten by the more "sexy" designs.

The A.W. 47 Antares was a Griffon power dedicated ground attack aircraft. Packed a train busting punch of 4x 20MM cannons









The victims are:

Hasegawa P-40E for the fuselage
Academy Typhoon Ib for the wings and fin
Horz stabs are from the spares dept so I don't know the source
Academy Spitfire XIV for the propeller and Griffon bulges
DML FW-190 and Academy P-51D for the wheels and LG

You're on A.W. roll there.

Yes ! Now that one I really like. Got that powerful look....especially from the underside, where you know all the scary stuff is coming from !

That's really nice, looks quite pugnacious, only thing I'd do if I had the ability would be to lengthen the fuselage slightly

This P-40E was a rescue so in lieu of the longer fuselage I added the Typhoon tail to counteract the torque. 

But since it went together so well I am confident there will be a Mk. II based on the P-40M/N
