I have found plans for a 100 as well and would love to build a card model of both, but I'm nowhere skilled enough to scratch design and build one on my own.

Hi Peter. I also work for an airline that flies Dash-8-100/300 and Q400 as well as CRJ200 and CRJ705 (which is a 75 seat RJ900). What airline do you work for?

Hey Peter...I also have fueled a couple of C-47 in my day. When I was a POL troop at Elemendorf AFB, Alaska, there were Reeves Aleutian Airline C-46 and C-47 aircraft under government contract to deliver supplies to the islands.

AVGAS and oil on every refuel. Definitely nice to have worked on such historic birds.

I have very good drawings of the Beechcraft D-18S...send me a PM with a good email for large file delivery, and I'll send them to you.

I'm glad this post came up. Last time I was at Bob's Cardmodels, the site was down. I see now that it is working. Well, some of the links aren't, but most are.

Sorry I missed your post Bluenoser. I am an Aircraft Dispatcher for Piedmont Airlines in Salisbury, MD.

On another note, thanks to Ashrunner, I have decided to try and give designing one of these one my own. I have never done this before so I am going to have to learn how to get the 3D Model over into the other programs needed to make the paper model. What would be the best part of the forum to post progress in?

Thank you 3Turner. I am laying the ground work now for the project. I would like to do this project tutorial style so it will hopefully inspire and educate others on what it takes to create a model.
