Avro Anson Mk.V (1/72nd scale)
Built by: Barry Friesen, Altona, MB, Canada
Airfix's ancient Mk.I Anson was extensively modified into a Canadian Mk.V by vacuforming a new upper fuselage, canopy, nose glass, navigator's dome and
engine cowlings, into which resin copies of 9-cylinder engines were inserted. The landing gear was improved with wheels from the spares box and extra
items. Overall, the fabric texture was removed, since the Mk.V was covered in plywood, the fin and rudder reshaped, and the ailerons shortened. Paints
were Gunze acrylics and the decals were from the spares box.
