I think this was one of their earliest releases and I've had it in my stash, actually in my built next stash, for years. So here we go.
Very minimal rigging if any but some interesting colors.
The aircraft was way ahead with it's time with it's full duraluminium construction, but I read that it was called the Furniture Van by it's crews. Interesting that it had a 32 gal gas tank. Hell my Tundra has a 38 gal tank...
Anyway..

I gotta plan out my painting scheme and see if I need to order some. I have confidence in this so hang on!

You go boss!

Just be aware that the ailerons need to be modified. The trickiest part of the build is the struts. Overall it's a joy to build. I wish I could have gotten another couple.

Nice!

I've seen the real one in the museum in Ottawa. It was quite a big aircraft! Looking at it it is surprising it flew!

Should be a good build, looking forward to it!

Actually I think this was the first kit WNW released. It is number 01. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out Bob!

Something must be right, Quick check of paint supplies show I have everything I need except the light blue (a tamiya mix formula) and Mauve...Pretty sure I mixed some Mauve for the Baron's bird so I should be able to do it again.
Primer on the inside, I'll be laying some colors down tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Let's get some wood.

Hope you like it, I got a coat of transparent orange over the oils now so I"m kinda committed now.

Nice progress, I like the wood.

Nahh we have a cure for that.

Just take it slow and easy and plan ahead a little.

Will they always say if you fall off the horse get back on the wagon...The subject is super Kool!

It could be said that you have your wood well in hand.

Not sure what to say next, Bob. Good luck with this crowd? I'm sure you'll have better luck with the model.
