Here's an idea - how about using these sheet balsa plans as templates for uncommon aircraft? They're already boxy and should be easy enough to downscale.
Paul and Ralph Bradley's Model Airplane Hangout - Free Flight Models Where else can you find a Dornier 27, Cessna 180, Auster Autocar, Beagle Pup, and Navion? |

There's lots of recolor possibilities for both aircraft, I'm planning to do a Cessna in Philippine markings. For the Alouette's open tail framework it might be better to do a black fill like PRModels or R&PModels. Of course you know about the Hughes 300 included in Olli Bizer's Calypso, right? |

The "Alouette II" of PL-107 Soya is actually a Bell 47G, so the 2 blade rotor is correct.
I'm digging the Cessna 180.

Right as usual Carlos, I should have looked more closely. I thought the bubble was too elongated for a Sioux and the backside threw me off, now when I look at the tail frames it is definitely a Sioux. I also wondered why the turbine engine wasn't shown even with just rolled up paper tubes.
Still, lots of potential recolors! |

Yes it was the tail frame and the missing turbine that did it for me. Plus the cabin looked too short for an Alouette II (my brother had a big alouette II toy when we were children) and the Bell 47 was licence-built by Kawasaki so it looked like a more natural choice for a japanese agency.
I looked up the instructions of the Hasegawa kit for confirmation. https://1999.co.jp/eng/image/10157943 (1st version) https://1999.co.jp/eng/image/10067857 (2nd version) https://1999.co.jp/eng/image/10067857 (3rd version)

I see I haven't been here in a while... Pucara, Skyhawk and F-15? Awesome, I really look forward to these.
Here is some of my new work, some World War I planes and air forces of Nigeria, with new Agusta AW109, JF-17 Thunder and Dassault Alpha jet

Thank you very much Pips. I already downloaded the WWI planes that many of them where boxy already like the Breguet.
Thank you for the welcome addition of the Alphajet and the A 109. Both of them could be subjects of multiple recolors. Looking forward to the release of the DH 4. |

Thanks for this new set, Pips!
Here's what I've been working on this week. I haven't designed the canopy and landing gear yet but I'm liking the first 2 test-builds so far... These are F-100As with short abd extended wings ang fins. I probably won't keep the shorter horizontal stabs as I'm not sure they actually existed. The F-100D will require a small fuselage extention in addition to new wings and fin.

Very nice, a good cockpit would greatly enhance your model.
Thank you for sharing. ps: as you know, there were a few Armée de l'Air F-100 |

Thank you!
Yes I know. And I've just modified the parts for the F-100D which is the version used by France. Still no canopy for now. Maybe tomorrow. Export users of the Super Sabre were France (F-100D/F), Denmark (F-100D/F), Turkey (F-100C/D/F), and the Republic of China (upgraded F-100A with the fin of the F-100D plus 4 RF-100A and some F-100F).
