Beechcraft 1900 Repaint

[Knife]

Here's my Beechcraft 1900 production line, awaiting delivery from the engine shop. Rescaled Murph's Models Beechcraft 1900D to 1/72 scale and sent them to the paint shop. Hope to get the engines done this next week. If everything fits properly I will send the files over to Murph to put up on his website.

i bought his air new zealand one.would love that at the larger scale:)

ok just realised the model is at 1;40 already.have not got round to building it yet

I was about to say, 1/72 is a bit small for my tastes.

They look awesome though.

The repaints will all be original Murphy scale (1/39 scale). I just printed them out smaller to save shelf space and to match them with the 1/72 scale turboprop airliners I've already built from Skylinemodels.

Very nice looking set of airliners! Kinda reminds me of a King Air that New Mexico used back when I worked for the Air Quality bureau. I got to fly in one from Santa Fe to Carlsbad and back one day. I sat up front in the right hand seat and at night on the way back late at night we were "treated" to an amazing lightning show courtesy of several thunderstorms. Our third passenger was not so thrilled, but at least he didn't hurl.

quick question what weight card do you recommend to build this at the 1;40 scale

[murphyaa]

Everything I design is designed for 67lb to 110lb cardstock (anybody who can convert these to gsm. Help!!!1!) It's what I can get my hands on easily (My brother works for a school, and they accidentally over-ordered yellow 67lb cardstock...they wanted 1 case, and the secretary ordered 100 cases...oops. I was able to take home 10 reams.) Good thing I like yellow and orange airplanes...

Here's the test builds. Just need to do a little tweeking and they will be ready. Models are mounted to the bases with magnets (metal washers in the belly of the aircraft and magnets mounted in the top of the bases).
