It can be argued that the Avro 504 was one of the most influential aircraft of the 20^th century. It was in production from 1913 through 1932 and over 10,000 were built and the type was used by 39 nations around the globe. It served as a private aircraft, a trainer, a bomber, a fighter, an army cooperation aircraft, a research support craft on an artic expedition and saw service on wheels, floats and skis. In addition, it used 15 different engines during its development through 30 marks. It was a truly versatile aircraft. For a long time the only plastic model of the type was the old Airfix one that dates from 1967 and like its namesake, it has had a long life still being in production today.

Arma has released their F4F-4 with the addition of Operation Torch marking and two bases in this very nice offering. The F4F-4 was originally released ea few months ago and this is a great option, I personally have a connection with Operation Torch as my father was part of this.
