Oh man!! That is fantastic Rhino. :thumbsup

Great job Uros. :thumbsup

Thanks for the kind comments fellas. :thumbsup I wont rescribe the panel lines, but I will make some rudimentary hinges for the clamshell doors, then scribe the outlines. I've got some paint on it, the wings, stab, and the engines. Another couple of weeks... Chris, do you remember the ATR...

Hi Warren, just saw this while looking for something else. Great job so far on the pigboat. Will this one be the one that was airlifted out of the boonies up between Churchill Falls and Goose? We used to haul diesel fuel from Goose to the Bell Telephone site at Sona Lake with the DC-3 or the...

Pup, that's half the fun. :bgrin

Thanks fellas. :thumbsup Here's what the resin engines look like, back... …and front. There is no engine detail on either the resin or the kit engines. The front has a shrouded fan that presumably aids in engine cooling. To get the material off the back end so's the engine will sit on the...

Thanks for the kind comments fellas, much appreciated. :thumbsup Rhino I have a 1:72 Shed in the stash, never thought of making a gunship outta it. :laugh: Well, this thing proceeds apace. I have all the cabin windows reglued back in place and the fuselage primed. Wazzat reglued stuff, you...

Hee hee, this I gotta follow. :bgrin Way to go Rhino, keep it up buddy.

Thanks for the comments fellas. :thumbsup Well, I have the cockpit completed and the fuselage buttoned up. Here's how it went. I redid the control columns. Here's the original... …And after a bit of firkytoodling with a bit of wire for the column. Since there will be no interior detail...

Blobs indeed. :blink: I built a couple of Execuform vac Bellanca Aircruisers for my friend in Whitehorse a few years ago. There was stuff in those kits I had no idea what it was. I made new engine cowlings from a cigar tube, just for starters.

Great job Chris. What company, did Time Air operate those? Inter Canadian ran them into here, out of Montreal. As a pax I always preferred the ATR to the -8. I found it quieter, and the InterCan ones had the Recaroh leather seats, better than the upholstered 2x4's of Jazz. When we redid the...

Fantastic job Chris. :thumbsup

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Oh man, that is so nice. :thumbsup I think I'll crawl under my desk and suck my thumb. Those are the same colours as the first 180 I ever saw, must have been the winter of 1955 or 56. Reg was CF-KQG, that I still remember also.

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Fine job Chris, that there airplane looks good. :thumbsup One Cessna model nobody mentions is the 182 and a half, which is what we called the 185 with the 260 HP engine. On floats that thing was a dog, compared with the 300 HP E model. And if doggy wasn't bad...

Thanks fellas. :thumbsup Work on the cockpit continues apace. I have installed some aluminum linoleum on the floor - made from beverage can, natch - and glued aluminum panels on the sides of the console. This airplane had a rudder bar, which means the rudder pedals were on the ends of a bar...

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Fine job Chris. I used the original windshield on the two I built. I can't remember how I modified it, and I've deleted the file pix I had. Is that engine fuel injected? You'll have to build an injection system if it was. Or do like I would do and say I modified...

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Niiiice!! Is that an oil cooler I see on the right hand side of the engine?

I have modified the nose to something that a Bristol design boffin might recognize. This involved gluing some scrap styrene strips to the rh side of the nose, while sanding off some of the surplus material from the lh side. By adding copious quantities of body putty, some semblance of symmetry...

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Fine job Chris,that's turning out really nice. :thumbsup :thumbsup Is that red colour painted on or did you glue some kind of material on there?

Thanks fellas. :thumbsup You are a good man, Rhino. :lol:
