Hi All
well the Avro Baby is finished and I delivered to Bundaberg where it is in storage until the museum is finished in April, but not open 'till the end of the year I'm guessing.Here's a picture.

My current project is to refurbish the Avro Avian replica of the one that Hinkler flew to Australia; they have a rudimentary replica that needs a lot of tweaking to make it look like the real thing.

Simultaneously we've started the 1/4 Scale B24 Liberator for the Tocumwal Historic Aerodrome Museum. First part of the project already underway is to make silicone moulds for the Pratt and Whitney R1830-65 plus hub and propeller so I can churn those out.
I'll be taking moulds from this replica as there were 10 Squadrons in this region that had Liberators, so 10 towns that are potential buyers for a 1/4 scale replica I hope.
