CL-215, originally 1/60, Thai Navy livery

It's been a while since I beta built for Aaron. Now his CL-215 Thai Navy, originally at 1/60 as he says, is rescaled to 1/72. Must say that this is quite a challenging project as the main landing gear struts are a bit complicated to build and needed quite a few adjustments to make the fuselage stands squarely on all three. The design is excellent and there's no fit problem at all. Mounting the wing was a breeze and unexpectedly smooth and uneventful.

The colour graphics of this livery is pretty good looking. Some enhancement is made - the window see-through screen with some interior pictures glued to the internal parts to represent the cockpit interior. However, as the stock build is simply opaque light blue windows, so a couple of photoshopped pictures to show blue windows are provided for Aaron's webstore. The other standard add-on is spinning props.

This is one very impressive build.Flying boats are challenging subject to build symmetrically and you got it bang in.Also big applause for Aaron for designing such a difficult subject.

So did Aaron rescale, or did you?

Beautiful build!

Another beautifully built model, Papermate. It's always a pleasure to see your work.

Aaron gets better and better at designing models that fit together well.

He is also very responsive to modelers' feedback.

Kudos to designer and builder.

Don

Thanks guys for visiting and your compliments.

Gene K, the real plane has a length of 780 inches (65 ft) and my model measures 10-7/8 inches long without the nose radar. After shrinking to 80% of the original templates, I worked it out to be about 1/57.77 and probably Aaron round it up to 1/60. Hope my maths worked right!

I think my printer does wierd things to models. Plus I always use the wingspan to determine scale.

Murph blames it on his printer. I think he just makes a WAG!!

Not completely. If I do the scale, I usually build the model as is, then use rulers to get the wingspan. Then I get the wingspan of the real plane, convert it to inches, then divide that by the model wingspan. Whatever the calculator says goes.
