Hi Carl,
PM inbound: re. Avro 730
Robert
Now what, I ask myself, is a died-in-the-wool 1/72 scale modeller going to do with a 1/144 scale Avro 730.....
:)
I want to make a 1/72 scale one ----- ![Evil >:D](https://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/Smileys/clabIcons/evil.gif)
Ahah, now we know. :)
Duncan (Overkiller) over on the Whiff Forum built a 1/72 one a few years ago and it was suitably AWESOME. Quite how they'd steer the darn thing on the ground I'm not sure but it looked VERY fast indeed.
Erm!

actually, that might have been Duncan that sent me the drawings, the photo of the model on the Secret Projects forum Carl has just posted is Duncan's and he did have a thread on the What-If forum too. This is the first version of the Avro 730
I remember what he told me about the the second version (the version Fantastic Plastic produces). although the fuselage looks the same shape wise, it's actually quite a bit shorter. That's the challenging bit I'll have to overcome when I draw it up. There are some very detailed drawings in the set of the undercarriage gear, the front one could have been lifted straight off a Vulcan.
