Murph's Model - Cessna 195 Businessliner 1/24 to 1/33

The latest beta build for Murph is the Cessna 195 Businessliner whose original scale
is 1/24 but reduced to the commonest scale of 1/33. I'm not following exactly
the instructions like forming the cockpit and cutting out relevant parts. Instead I cut
out the windows part by part and fixed it to the fuselage. This has proven to be
better as the whole windscreen and passenger window parts line up and flush with
the edge of the fuselage beautifully.

Another point in building this model is that I install the landing struts before going to close
the cockpit compartment with the overhanging wings. I used a piece of piano wire
following the angles of landing gear struts according to the 3-view diagrams on
the instruction sheet, and bent it and checked the right angle and position.
Well maybe will give more details at a later stage, just in case you're interested.

Here some build pic for now. I think the RC guys would be interested in building
this model large enough to put in all the RC gadgets to make it a flyable model plane.
