These last releases by Avis are indeed remarkable upgrades
on the short-run theme, and if it's true that there are not snap-together, the
level of detail and care in the engineering and molding makes them the best so
far I have build in that category, needless to say the subjects are wonderful
which for me makes for a complete modeling happiness package.
The step-by-step build is here:
And so here it is, a racing oddity that promised much but
did live up to the expectations. Enclosed engine, retractable landing gear,
monoplane, monocoque fuselage, all very advanced choices for 1922 no doubt,
that unfortunately due to other problems was not to be the winner the designers
and builders thought would be.
In any case, who can resist the plumped charm of this
eccentric aviation one-off?
The kit needs some touches here and there, but it is a noble
kit, and I had fun building it, not to mention looking at it!
Well done Avis, for more!
I would say take it a bit further and give us a piggy-like
Vickers Vulcan, or a De Havilland DH18 or 34, or a Westland Limousine. But if
you want to stay in line with the current trend, I would take a Helmy Aerogypt any day!
Excelente como siempre, felicitaciones y gracias. Un saludo.
