Upcoming models

He has also done the 177 and I think the 180 and 170 are too similar and thus would be less motivational for him to even think about designing them. Unless, of course, if it's a commissioned job, then it's a different story.

The revised engines for the SCA are now fixed and appear to be okay proportionally
as seen in the first pic. The pre-hump surgery photo is now presented
as I have no idea what the "After-surgery" will look like. Took the "Pre" pic just in case.
The second shows a glimpse of the Dreamlifter, awaiting a set of suitable engines.

Certainly the 170-B is one of the prettiest light aircraft in the fleet.

Sorry but no. The Cardinal is completely different from the 180/170. Just check the web and you'll see. The 170 is much more similar to the 195 but it is very important because it was the first all metal four place Cessna airplane. The 180 is an improved and more powerful version of the 170 and it is also very different from the Cardinal which was an effort by Cessna to design a four place private plane staying away from the traditional design of the 180, Skylane etc. The Cardinal has a totally different wing, fuselage and cowl design. It also lacks wing struts and it is a more aerodynamically clean aircraft. But it was not very much successful. Both the 170 and 180 were extremely successful and manufactured for several years and despite being very old, several thousands are still flying worldwide. Some people say the Cessna 180 is the DC-3 of the small private planes. So we need card models of these fantastic airplanes.

Wow! So excited for that Dreamlifter! Also, the engines for the -400 have the cone at the end covered up unlike the picture papermate posted. It should look like this.

Just a refresher

In order to entice Aaron with a particular aircraft, find 3-views, even better with cross sections, give him the technical details.

do some research, if the aircraft flew in service of NASA, Coast Guard, or has any orange or yellow in the paint job/livery

If the aircraft you are interested in, and just happen to be at the Pima aircraft museum, Aaron will be more likely to head back and take more pictures or have a ton already.

So, in other words, do some leg work, show you are serious about the aircraft you want, and maybe this will encourage Aaron, or any other designer to create the aircraft of your dreams.

Have I gotten that predictable?

You forgot that bribes help too, though I've got 4 commissions on right now, so even bribes might take a while to take effect.

[rickstef]

Nope, but yes, it is more for the new people who have joined, and started asking for aircraft left right and center

a refresher is always nice to do from time to time

Murph, put out your price menu now, haha.

After surgery of the hump, the SCA looks like this.
