My subject is an airliner from the 1950s. Last of the large turboprops, it had a short life in major airline service due to a design flaw resulting in some spectacular accidents. A marvellous machine once fixed, the few remaining of the one hundred and seventy five built still do cargo and firefighting work to this day. Two pilots and a flight engineer had their hands full with manual systems and limited help from the autopilots of the time. The cockpit was a very busy place, and an excellent candidate for scale model reproduction if you like a lot of detail.
The picture below was my inspiration. A couple of shots of my mat board roughed in outline are here as well. Hope to attract a few followers as I will need all the help I can get.
