Avro 504K (2 seater, various scales)

The Avro 504 was a superb British trainer and was widely used in a long-lived series.  By 1917-18, the Avro 504 had found its niche as a well-behaved training machine, but some Avro 504Ks were converted to Home Defense duties in the north of England, where they served with five Squadrons through the end of the war. A single Lewis gun was mounted above the top wing on a Foster mount.

This product models an unarmed two-seater 504K, as might be used in training.  There is also available a fighter version, as was used on Home Defense.

This product comes in both 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales.  The 1:285 product includes two aeroplanes, joined by a disposable link.  In Frosted Detail, the 1:285 product includes detachable, translucent propeller disks with you can use or discard as you like.   At 1:500 and smaller, you get eight aeroplanes connected to sprues, which you must carefully remove.

DESIGNER NOTE:  Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available.  Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings.  If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.
