Hope you like. I've also got Bruno's German registered D-AGAR and a really pretty all red PCA example to build. Knowing that this one went together with few problems, I'm looking to building both.

Cheers, Garry G.

That's a terrific model. Very clean. Also--I notice that the color is much more authentic than the one I built. Mine is too light (and not nearly as well built). I am going to build another example and will try to do a neater job, particularly where the nacelles join the wings and around the pilot windows. You also got the fuselage cross-section right, which bedeviled me. I attached a couple of pictures. You can see what I mean. Can't wait to see your next build.

Fantastic build! Good to here no real construction problems

Outstanding! Between Bruno's model and your building skill, you have captured the look of this historic air liner.

Your'e being a bit hard on yourself Jon- yours looks damn good to me! And I love the figures you've incorporated. Are they photoshopped in later or actual?

Thanks all for your favorable comments- MUCH appreciated.

In regards to the fuselage cross-section, I had at one point a Williams Brothers 1/72 plastic of this plane (sold it without building it); but I remember the fuselage on that model had sort of squarish contours- slightly narrower on the top than the underside. I just bore that in mind while building this.

Cheers, Garry G.

You sir are a true artist in paper.
