Murph's Models N3N Canary
I've been working on the N3N for a while and thought that starting a thread on this model might be interesting to you and motivating for me to get going and finish it.
The airplane has nice lines and goes together well, but I would have had a very hard time with the float (and the sponsons, for that matter) had I not read papermate's beta build thread Murph's Model beta build - Naval Aircraft Factory N3N Canary aka "Yellow Peril", 1/34 with pictures and suggestions for the float. I reviewed that thread after my first failed attempt. The second was a little better. Here is my third try on the float and supports. As always, I am trying to improve my skills while learning more about this historic aircraft. Jon |

Great start. I have this on my must-do list, so I will definitely be following your build.

C9B, great job. Like me, if you do three, I'm certain that you'll get better and better. I built more than three before posting the pictures, shshsh, don't let the others know!! Practice makes perfect, they say.

Thanks for the encouraging words, everyone.
I try to build planes with which I have a more personal connection. My uncle made many a training flight in the yellow peril during World War II. He did not (as far as I know) fly the floatplane, but I appreciate the beautiful design. The fuselage went together very well. I copied papermate's approach to covering the wing spar carrythrough with something resembling a cockpit. The pictures will show the problem I had sealing the wingtips. The tabs are plainly visible. I'll learn from that. No problem with the fit or any of the parts. I will say that the geometry of the wing spar structure is complex, but simple to build. I would say it is brilliant, but I wouldn't want the designer to get a swollen head about it. Jon |

This plane is very nicely shot in 'Dive Bomber" film from 1941,so Devastator and few other planes.
Good work on fuselage fit and wings.Even better work on float.Good luck. |

Upper wing and engine are complete. I built the exhaust pipe but haven't attached it yet. Sponsons are almost done. Just about time to put it all together.
