I'd love to see one of these in paper. If someone needs some inspiration go to youtube and enter "douglas world cruiser" in the searchbox. There are several period newsreel films of the event.

I have one from Paper Model Art, Adult Hobby Series No. 4,designed by
Seiji Sugii. Markings are "2", "Chicago", "Air Service U.S.A. World Flight".
It's good quality paper in book form, but I question the color scheme.
It's Olive Drab with the front gray to the back of the cockpits, the wings
are stripes of dark/light O.D. The stars are Blue on a White circle with
a Red circle in the center. Scale I haven't figured out, but the wingspan
is 21 inches.
I have Steam Locomotive C62-2 from the same outfit.
Cheers, Bob

That's not the plane, but must have been what it evolved from. it's also a nice model, all white, just needs some paint. Thanks!



@ashevilleangler I think you're referring to Google Haiku Translator. That's how a lot of English reads in Spanish, though from English to German, if one knows a teeny bit of German, it seems to work really well.


@Aaron/Murphyaa, with those formers and views, I imagine you could pop one of these babies right out!!

[murphyaa]

I'm gathering info on it right now. I just picked up a commission, so I'm focusing on that for right now, but I'll get started on the DWT after that.

BTW, is there any chance anybody can get a good straight on shot of the big graphic on the side? I'd rather copy and paste instead of having to hand draw it myself.

[Zathros]

I'll sell you this insignia graphic, for $30 dollars, or a free model of the plane when your finished.

[cdavenport]

I have detailed color photos of the DWC, especially the cockpits to add to the effort.

BTW, I like the 1/33 idea...make for an impressive display model!

[murphyaa]

Big too. I'll try for 1:33, but no guarantees.

I got the Halftrack to 1:32, and it's 8 1/2 inches long, without the trailer.
