I had forgotten this thread!
Since the last entry I have made another civilian plane. Here I found some more examples that someday I wish to assemble https://www.modellbauseite.at/forum/...chte/downloads And I'm happy that this category is growing

Civil aircraft models
I really like what he did to build Fiddlersgreen's Bonanza!
When Draco started this thread, Design Group Alpha models were unavailable, and we had much work to do to even start listing them again on Ecardmodels. DGA members share the philosophy that we are doing this to create models that we, ourselves, like and want to build. We are not in this to increase sales, or compete with other designers. If others are interested in building our models we are happy for that. As of December 2020, we started listing our models once more on Ecardmodels. We have many civil airplane models all in 1:48 scale including: Fleet Canucks; Globe Swifts; Max Holste Brousards; Piper Pa-12 Super Cruisers; DeHavilland Canada Beavers; DeHavilland Canada Otters; Sportavia powered sailplanes; and Piper Cubs in many post war liveries. We still have a lot of work to do to reintroduce more of our models including the Piper Cherokees, and to finally publish our Turbo Beavers. Presently we are working on developing a model of a Cessna 185: Last edited by -Jim G; 01-22-2022 at 08:26 AM. |

I just had an idea.
Maybe some owner would ask you to make a repaint of his/her plane and you'll make it? So far I haven't made privately owned planes, but it falls inside your field.

Finally, modellers are aware of the importance of private aircraft. The Cessna 180/185 has been forgotten despite the fact that it is one of the most popular private aircraft although being out of production. Gary Pilsworth has offered here in "downloads" some civil airplanes such as the Skymaster (first version with fixed landing gear) The Piper Tri-Pacer, Comanche and Apache. We all hope more designers will be encouraged to tackle these type of aircraft.

When will the Cessna 180 be available? I have been looking for this aircraft for several years.

I love it! Thank you for bringing yet another classic Cessna into being. It looks great too. The floats are a nice touch.

A follow-on model for the Cessna 180 is also being planned. We are planning to have regular wheel landing gear, in addition to the floats. The floats modeled in the prototype picture are Wipaire 3000s. We will probably also have EDO floats, and likely have options for the floats to be amphibians. I am laying out the design for Wheel skis and Tundra Tires. I still need to complete the instructions for the DHC-2T Turbo Beaver, and release models. This will happen before the C-185. |

The Cessna 180 float version was complemented in 1957 with another museum piece: The Piper Tri-Pacer. |
