1/72 Airfix Avro 504K, D Flight, No. 4 Flying Training School, 1920, Abu Seir. 1973 boxing.
The Avro 504 was a First World War biplane aircraft made by the Avro aircraft company and under licence by others. Production during the war totalled 8,970 and continued for almost 20 years, making it the most-produced aircraft of any kind that served in any military capacity during the First World War. More than 10,000 were built from 1913 until production ended in 1932.
First flown from Brooklands by Fred "Freddie" Raynham on 18 September 1913, powered by an 80 hp (60 kW) Gnome Lambda seven-cylinder rotary engine, the Avro 504 was a development of the earlier Avro 500, designed for training and private flying. It was a two-bay all-wooden biplane with a square-section fuselage.
This kit was tooled in 1967. This kit is from 1973 and as the decals were badly deteriorated, the replacement decals are from the 2005 boxing.
