Curtiss Wright Condor build in 1/100 scale
Hello my friends!
I started a build in 1/100 scale of Curtiss Condor. Is a Oddball design. My choice is Byrd machine used in Antartic Expedition of 1938. I start the build from Floaters, because I fix model in a foajm jig to build biplans layout and add rigging... The pontoons, i paint the edges with acrilic paint... I made struts wih orthodontical wire reinforcement... In the next I started the first half of fuselage Nose... Cockpit area, Made with carefull because a box section of fuse, the secret is right the panel lines... Another sections done... First half completed. Continue... |

The third step is made a second half of fuselage...
The process is same... Fuselage is ready, I started the build of interior wing... I painted white edges with a mix of acrilic colors to simulate a chromate yellow. I open with sharp #11 cirurgical scalpel the wing holes in fuselage and gluing the center section of wing... After dry (24H) I gluing the external sections of wing with carefull... At the moment I made a engine nacelles, pics later... |

Interesting model. Is it available somewhere? American Airlines used thes airplanes just before the DC-2, so it's a very historical aircraft.
