OBP Planes/Murph's Models in 1/72

[murphyaa]

Oops. Looks like I need to look for a 48 star flag graphic. I have decided that on planes with engines of less than 18 cylinders, I'm gonna do separate cylinders. More than 18 gets a bit tedious, especially if the plane has multiple engines.

I'll look into drawing up some large scale engines in a few days (no computer here in the wilderness). I'm thinking to draw them in 1/32, then give instructions on how to scale them down.

To make your plane models more competitive, I suggest that you do the cockpit interiors as well. Just simple ones will do.

More thoughts, cockpit interior and wheel wells as an option to be provided.
Scale of model on Sheet 1 with printing percentage to decrease or increase. Though you
have a conversion table link on your webstore, it will be more user-friendly to print it out
for your customers.

It's update time again. Presenting.... your Grace.... without engines and undercarriage yet.
The wing fillet is a bit tricky to cover the fuselage and the wings. Should be better if the ends
are wider by a couple of mm. The colour may well be a little darker. Perhaps another revision
should be looked into, Aaron.

Just a reminder, the model is built at the scale of 1/72 and the original is 1/57.

WOW! (That's all the words I have).

Thank you guys for your compliments. I have now almost finished the engines pending
fixing of smaller parts like scoops, upper and lower, and the exhausts to the left engine.
There's a problem with the engines as the cylinders are too tall to fit into the nacelles.
Considerable trimming is necessary to shave off most of the top of the cylinders to fit.
The nacelle and its outer rim will hide all the defects, so no worries.

However, it is necessary for Aaron to re-draw the cylinders as a remedy. Perhaps it will
be easier for the less experienced to see a 2D engine face dial to replace the 3D one.

The model is now covered with food wraps if you are curious to know. It's to prevent
mishaps as it is built in photoprint paper. That's it for now.

The 2D engine face dial I mentioned is meant to be an option only. The 3D one should remain.
