Welcome back..
This is my build of the Special Hobby Airspeed Oxford in 1/48 scale.
The Airspeed AS.10 Oxford is a twin-engine monoplane aircraft developed and manufactured by Airspeed. It saw widespread use for training British Commonwealth aircrews in navigation, radio-operating, bombing and gunnery roles throughout the Second World War.
At the outbreak of war, many thousands of Oxfords were ordered by Britain and its allies, including Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Poland, and the United States. Following the end of the conflict, the Oxford continued to achieve export sales for some time, equipping the newly formed air forces of Egypt, India, Israel, and Yugoslavia. It was considered to be a capable trainer aircraft throughout the conflict, as well as being used as a general-purpose type. A large number of Oxfords have been preserved on static display.
The kit is very much short run technology, but with a lot of short run model kits, there is supplied resin, photo etch parts and vinyl glazing masks. Good decals give a nice variety of subjects.
The recent Airfix Anson gives us modellers hope that a mainstream manufacturer might release a up to date Oxford... I'm not holding my breath!
