PYRO AVRO Biplane

by Charlie Duckworth

Here's the PYRO AVRO Biplane built right of of the box except I used Tom's Model Works brass wire wheels. The CDL is Floquil's Antique White with several drops of their Mud to give it a 'yellow' tint. The fuselage is Floquil Mud. Somewhere I read the wings were linen and the fuselage was covered in canvas. Engine was rebuilt using cylinders from a Lindberg Jenny and spark plug wires added. Rigging is done with .005 fishing line. The AVRO lettering on the bottom wing was made from black decal curves and straight pieces.
