>> 1/48 Avro Anson MkI - Prototype / Weird Aircraft / Trainers

Thanks very much Terry. No big hurry as I need to crack on with my Arado and look at the Nanton specimen in detail before I do much on this one. Your contributions will be appreciated though.

Glad you got your computer sorted.

So am I !!
And no problem re the pics. I think I have a magazine 'profile' feature too, from the 1980's, from a series later developed into the 'Warpaint' books. I'll see if it's worth scanning and, if so, I'll include that too - if i can get to it, in the pile behind the pile, behind the filing cabinet and other junk !

Got some pics of RCAF birds with some of the rectangle windows left in place if you are inclined to go that way

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Geo. 9982 shown below is actually one of the schemes included with the kit and I may go that route.

Can you spray it on for me too?

Actually, the profile I posted in the introduction is quite colourful too with similar yellow patches over grey/green camo, something I'd have to check into. I know that there was an RCAF direction to update home based fighter aircraft camouflage from the brown/green temperate land scheme to the then more current day fighter scheme but am not sure that this covered other types.

As long as you mask it up for me!

I like that scheme too, and it would allow the interior to be seen. The original subject would be a good one though, and different to most Anson models.

 

[mikewint]

Agreed, that yellow really stands as do all those windows

Forgot to add -- good video on the recovery. I wonder if that other crew member is related to my family ?
Apparently had some relatives in the RAF, trained in Canada, and also have a 'Canadian branch' of the family, although don't know much about them.

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, it's certainly easier on me as I won't have to worry about the mods, nor the decals.

 

[mikewint]

Terry, don't worry, every family has its distaff branch

 

[T Bolt]

Terry, if you can include me in that Anson picture email. I have one in the stash I hope to get to one of these years so will file them for future reference.

 

[Airframes]

Will do Glenn. Just had a look at them, and they're mainly of the undercarriage and wheel bays, with a few other details, of a late version (T19 ?), although basically the same as the Mk1, plus a few of Duxford's Mk1.
I'll sort them and send them today.

Pics sent to both of you, total of 34.

 

[Crimea_River]

Cheers pal. Got 'em.
