Thanks, Rata!

Yes, like my Stranraer and my He 115, this model is the first time that is done in paper.

Right now I'm assembling the "legs" and finishing to design the shaft of the propeller.
Then comes the bomb rack and the bombs. But I'm seen that this plane used to fly unarmed, just guns. So I'll distribute it like this to my beta testers, and while they assemble two versions of the plane I'll finish the weapons, including a torpedo.

Information about this bombs is scarce, but luckily I found an ebook with the data.

Tonight I'll finish the Nomad!

I just assembled the floats and the bombs rack. Now comes the dessign of the propeller shaft... and the third layer of paint of my model.
And, in the case of the digital one, I'll need to do the instructions and the other 3 versions of the plane.
So, tomorrow I'll send the beta test, that I'm sure they will have no problems. My goal is to have the plane ready for download before christmas.

Tonight I finished the propeller and started to create the folders to hold each version of the plane. There will be eight, four in 1/72 scale, and four in 1/33.

The one already finished is the norwegian one, with the number one in 1/72 scale. Today I'll finish the one in british roudels with black lettering in 1/72 scale, and the one actually displayed in the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection, scale 1/33.

Both of them will be send to my beta testers, but I'm sure there won't be changes, so I'll just need pictures of the finished planes for ecardmodels. So, if somebody wants to start assembling your plane, you can send me a message with the version and scale that you want, instead of waiting a week for the release in the site.

Nice work Draco. The shapes and proportions all look correct mate.

[Draco]

Thanks!

Well, I have finished four of the eight versions of the plane. But both of my beta-testers had personal problems and I won't have the pictures that I needed to publish this plane before the 24th.

I'll just keep making the rest of the versions, then.

Good news! A friend of mine took the challenge to assemble the N-3PB Nomad in less than two days!
And to make it harder he is doing the model in 1/100 scale!
Now a question: Would somebody else be interested to assemble the Nomad in 1/100 scale?

[Draco]

Good news!
The N-3PB has been uploaded to ecardmodels! It must be available (I hope) before the 24th!
I placed pictures of my Alpha model and from one of my Beta Testers in ecardmodels. Once the two remaining testers end their models, my pictures will be removed and theirs will be included.
All three say that the model has a good fit and it's easy to assemble. And the model is being assembled in 1/33, 1/72 and 1/100 scales!

Well done Draco. A worthwhile project that I hope is popular.
