1/48 Airfix Anson Mk1

November 18, 2023 · in Aviation · · 25 · 340

Just completed my Avro Mk1 6013, formerly RAF 9943. Borden Ontorio using Iliad decals.

The interior was the most enjoyable part of the build for me. I had some fit issues, but it may have been my fault. Not sure tbh.

But glad its done. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ‘

Thank you for looking.

Paul.

  1. That's a lotta orange/yellow. Fine build. Spectacular interior...perfect for all the see-thru canopy.

  2. That is so impressive, Paul @paulwoodyvanacker! ๐Ÿ‘ Scale modeling at such a high level; that is a very inspiring build sir. ๐Ÿบ

  3. Nice one chap. Mellow yellow๐Ÿ˜

    Guessing she was on crew training duties.
    We like yellowโค๏ธ

  4. Impressive build and color scheme is very attractive.

  5. Amazing. Canopy and interior are lovely.

  6. Great looking build. Love that color and all of the interior details (@paulwoodyvanacker).

  7. Awesome Anson, Paul! Striking scheme!

  8. This is really excellent, Paul. Superb work and a really great result.

  9. Absolutely beautiful, Paul @paulwoodyvanacker
    Looks great externally and internally.

  10. Absolutely beautiful build, Paul @paulwoodyvanacker. Makes me want to get one too!

  11. Incredible surface finish, Paul! Your interior is also very well done - are all the dials and gizmos kit decals and your steady brush hand, or did you add some aftermarket? The thin canopy and, especially, turret framing is just amazing - by hand or careful use of masks? Congratulations on completing this stunner!

  12. ๐Ÿ™‚ ... Greetings ... ๐Ÿ™‚ :
    Stunning Anson model in every angle Paul.

  13. Great build. The interior work looks great, and with all that glass, it needs a nice interior to make it all work. Mission accomplished there!

  14. Nice looking Anson. Masking that turret must have been fun! The interior is excellent, Great job!

  15. I love all-yellow trainers, Paul (@paulwoodyvanacker). Well done.

  16. Excellent work, Paul. I need to build mine soon. The main reason I havenโ€™t is I canโ€™t choose from all the great schemes available for the Anson.

  17. Love the yellow trainers too. Verry nice kit. Does anyone have issues with yellow acrylic? It sprays ok if you're very careful, but brushing it is a nightmare. White can be similar.

    • I had some problems with the yellow. Got grainy when I over sprayed. But that was sanded down and given another coat.
      I'm glad it wasn't anything bigger than an Anson. Lol.

  18. Love a yellow finish on these Ansons. Very nice job Paul ๐Ÿ‘

  19. Looks fantastic, and with all that glass it appears you can really see the work you put into the interior.
