ForD Trimotor

I actually started this build over a week ago. So I'm not building quickly, I'm posting very slowly. Anyway, I've got the main part of the fuselage done. It's a twelve passenger airplane so fourteen seats including the flight deck. Maybe I'm slowly buiding my way up to an armored model but I doubt it!

I'm hoping to finish this build for the April 3rd ASM club meeting. It could be very close. Oh well, I will have a good excuse to watch lots of NCAA games while I build.

Go Cards!

Cecil -- JBS School '77

PS - The last two photos show how the front part of the fuselage is left unglued so that the nose piece can slide in under it to be glued in place.

Hello, Cecil! We don't see too many Schreiber kits assembled on this side of the pond, so this will be interesting to watch.

Cheers!

I saw the Tri motor at the air & space Museum in DC a couple months ago. It looked just like yours. Looking forward to the finished model. Looks great so far
