Thanks Gort That is a 1/48 Eduard kit. I used to be into models in a serious way. A little more that a year ago I just lost the ambition and interest in building....thus diecast! I do some tweaking to the diecast I get, but that's all the patience I have for it any more

I have no idea why Tri-motor wants it. What he does with it is his business. I thought wanting a picture of it was a little.....different? But you have to know Tri-motor like I do.

Work of art, planenuts! I know you gave your reasons of going to diecast, but it seems to me it would be hard, no comparison in the quality!

That's just the best 1/72 scale work I've seen for a while! It's really amazing, pn!

Actually it's 1/48 scale

Thanks for the nice comments guys. That is just one of a bunch of models I had in the Gallery on the old forum.

Great looking woodwork there...
You mind telling me how long did it take you to make that kit?

It only took Fed-Ex 3 days to destroy it!. Planenuts sent me this a 2 other models as a gift. Despite his packaging efforts I got a pile of plastic!

Thanks Starman. If I remember correctly it took me about a week working several hours a night. A lot of the time is in the camo on the wings which are decals,the rigging, cockpit detail and the photo etched machine guns which were VERY tedious. The wood painting went faster than I thought it would. And see the little air scoops on the spinner? Those are little photo etched pieces.

And you sent it to Tri-motor and it got all messed up by FedEx
So sad....Great job on that thing.
