[bob martin]

I had previously build the smaller model stock so,:) decided to do the larger version with clear windows, detailed cockpit and detailed engine.:D My even make it really float:eek:maybe:rolleyes: we'll see;) All cut out and ready for assembly.

[bob martin]

Hi mchale, If I recall it is the engine that comes with the Fiddlers Green Vega model:) I think:confused:

[bob martin]

My first thought was to make this one with sealed floats so I could actually put in water.:) Failing that,:( I got looking through some pictures of the Beaver and saw one with wheels on the floats and thought that was different:D so here it is.;)

Very Nice! One thing that I think could be done to improve this livery is to 'paint' the engine cowling. I never understood why Chip did not do that. It should look like this: N471PM of Carlin Air. (http://www.dhc-2.com/id992.htm)

[bob martin]

Hi Jim, That would have been cool:)

Chip's main concern was with issues of lining up the graphics between the nose and the cowling. This was during the "A model every Friday" thing, and it was late thursday night when we got to that part.
