Revell's 1/72 scale
Avro Shackleton AEW.2

by Spencer Pollard

Airfix's 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Vb is available online from Squadron.com

This is Model Airplane International's look at the soon to be released, Revell 1/72 Shackleton AEW.2.

Built from an early test-shot, this gives a fair indication of what the final kit will look like and what modellers can expect when it's released in a few months time.

Having worked on it for several weeks and collated my thoughts on what's in the kit, I have to say that I rather like the resulting model, being as it is, the very first time I've ever completed a four-engined RAF propeller-driven aircraft!

As to specific thoughts on the kit and build - well, you'll have to read the article, which will appear in the March issue (Issue 128) of Model Airplane International magazine.
