Am a bit embarrassed to post this now, but I noticed more people have downloaded my AN2 recolors which have graphics alignment issues from the few photos I've seen.

Could builders post or send me close up photos plus measurements so I can fix these misalignments? Thanks.

Happy new year everyone!

I Wish I could but I am busy in other stuffs. I have plans for them in future.

Avalanche continues...

This time it's DC-8 in Air Canada colors.One of those crashed near Toronto YYZ airport in 1970,another form TCA airlines crashed near Montreal in 1963.

Very skinny plane,makes for a bit challenging model.One on pictures is larger version.Centre part of the wing under fuselage needs to be slightly corrected and black anti-glare panel in front of cockpit needs to be drawn with skinny black marker.That detail is too tricky to draw in PS in this scale.



Here is a couple of pics how I make and install wings.I make separate tabs from scrap paper and glue them about 1mm or 1/16 of an inch into rear part of wing.Glue wing wit proper line up and with fingertip close gap if any.Wing gets spar made from again scrap paper rolled on proper size dowel.I'm a fan of round spars-they are much faster to make,easier and can be rolled to any desired diameter.Tapering effect is best done just by squishing tube gradually from one end to another.Important detail-spar gets only a drop of glue righ near wing root.Gluing any more will cause deformation.



This model got me thinking about building one of DC-8 by Mr.Pilsworth (of course much smaller).Did anyone build one of them?

A Wireandpaper idea that stays for awhile, since March 2019 is this conversion of the Il-18 into an Il-38 Radar Searching Aircraft. I move the wings foreward, borrow the radar bulge from the Neptune and modified tail for the MAD sensor. We take the Parable of the talents or Minas: What have you done with what I already gave you?. There is sufficient Bruno´s plane to attempt building them in themes; as RATA is doing with his thread, or Vinalsergio with his Argentinian planes. A more capable builder will make better justice to this spectacular plane. I upscaled mine to 1/150 with no problem. We all are waiting for the Return of the Jedi; meanwhile we are holding the front. Best Regards to all of you. Tony.

Que cool era cuando armabamos mas!
How cool it was when we could build more!

Very nice Tony, now we only need that some one do the Breguet Atlantique to be complete with the Cold War ASW planes.

Thank you very much for Ił-38, I will be doing Ił-18 soon, and I thought it would be nice to do Ił-38, and thanks to you it will happen what makes me happy.

Thanks for those models, very kind.

[Butelczynski]

Nice Il Tony-thank you.I'll build it and make it larger a bit,maybe not as large as you

Surely PABLITO I will do the B748 and B744 with that Livery of Lufthansa
