Cheers for that link, i came across this one looking for details on Austers and had totally forgotten about this site having registered some time ago. i have a 1/1 scale Auster project (nope. not kidding), she's an ex RAF AOPVI converted to Terrier 2 standard after demob, she will be restored to military stock, she was written off in a gale some years ago and i plan to restore her to static condition, at the moment all that remains of her is a slightly damaged fuselage frame and a bulkhead i have sourced for her as well as some other parts i have had set aside. cheers for the reference material, i also plan on making a scrachbuild in large scale af her scaling down the mesurements and starting with the frame as a starting point, building the model as i build the real thing.
one thing i did was to source a couple of early still boxed Airfix Austers for one of the guys who rebuilt the 'airfix' Auster VX113 back to military stock. mine btw is G-ASYN / VF519

all the best.
