Thanks for the kind words fellas. :thumbsup

Fine job Ian. :thumbsup

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 Great minds must think alike. I've built two of those, one on wheel skis and the other on floats. On both I did the same as you, cut off the roof and replaced it. :thumbsup

Monogram box scale Cessna 180 You're off to a fine start, but you're a braver man than I am, Gunga Chris. Will this be the old straight tail or will you commit insanity and sweep the tail, and add the rear window? I hope you have plenty of sandpaper for those steamship rivets. Wait a sec...

Thanks for the kind comments fellas, much appreciated. Well, stick a fork in this one. The rest of the assembly was pretty straightforward, consisted of adding the tail feathers and then the floats. After that was done glue on the wings and there you have it. The floats went on well, but...

Fine job, buddy. :thumbsup

Great work Rhino. Gotta remember those tea bags, I may be on the lookout for some mesh type stuff for cargo netting. :thumbsup

You're a braver man than I am, Uros-din. I thought of that, but since that is the only one in Canada the sane side of my brain said "Don't do that!" :bgrin

Thank you fellas. Sharkey that one in Yellowknife is an ex-Wardiar, ex-Trans Canada Air Lines machine. Believe it or not, TCA operated a few of them as freighters. There is a tale, probably apocryphal, of TCA going into La Guardia with one. Back then the tower would issue a reminder to pilots...

Thanks fellas. Chris that airplane is in the Aviation Museum in Ottawa now, still in Norcanair livery. Last time I saw it was 2003, and if you sniffed hard enough there was still a whiff of rotten fish around. :bgrin Anyway, got a bit of colour on this thing. Four mist coats plus a wet...

Really, really nice job Duke. :thumbsup I missed the very first shuttle launch by a few of hours back in 1981. Arrived Orlando at noon and Columbia had left at 07:00 or some such.

Fantastic work. Wot helios said. :thumbsup

Wow! That's really nice Rob. :thumbsup

Thanks for looking in fellas, and thanks for that link Rich. So far so good, I don't think I'll need it, but you gotta see the dry fit to believe it. :S Once them design boffins come under the influence of breakfast kippers and start on the lip gloss, anything can happen. As for the only nose...

I usually do not have two builds going at once, but the Rodent is on hold for a week or so while the weather warms up enough to paint in my shed, soooo... A few months ago I had a call from the Yukon Air force. It seems they were missing a Bristol Frightener from the collection. Bob informed me...

Stiddy as she goes Captin. Damn Rhino, that is looking great. I can't wait to see the finished product. :thumbsup

Thanks fells. Chris I think you're right about the arm rest and cup holders. That pic is from Neil Aird's site, it's s/n 1000, CF-PCG. I doubt it'll ever carry another load of freight. I've not built one with the cabin extension. Kenmore windows instead of the porthole, yes. I got the...

Lookin' good Rhino. :thumbsup What did you make those life rings from, or were they aftermarket items?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. :thumbsup <<Absolutely Outstanding, Suh!>> Why thank you, Suh! ;) John I can't remember what that stuff was called, could have been that. I do believe it was a kind of honeycomb, with metal on the bottom. Since I had removed the windshield halves I needed...

Fine job Ian. That engine is something else. :thumbsup
