Nice little plane, should look really nice in the more colourful liveries.

A Dash 8, could we persuade you?

Thanks guys! I really do aim for capturing the overall "gesture" of the topic. Here's a photo of her completed fuse...

Here's the solid wood version of this model. Looking forward to the release, I'm first in line to buy one. I have about 3000 hours in this bird.

Right on! I never flew the J31, but I flew the Metro. I'm surprised we have any hearing left; those TPE331s can make you outright deaf!

Here she is with a wing attached. More to come!

I really like the fact that you included the underbelly cargo pod. That's where all the carry on bags went, since there's no overhead storage compartments on the aircraft. Passengers in the forward cabin had to step over the wing spar to get to their seats. Since the passengers were usually looking for their seat numbers that are posted at eye level, lots of them weren't looking down and would trip over the spar. Ahh, the memories.

I forgot about the spar! I imagine BAE did everything they could to avoid putting that thing in the cabin. Here she is with both wings...
