Doing the final touches to the Harbour Air Canada
This particular planes doesn't have the oval exaust used by the first two versions that I did, but a simple tube that goes 30° down in the left side of both engines, and 30° up in the right side of both.
You can see the previous exaust (blue) and the actual one (red)

Hi everybody and I'm really worried.
It happens that when I do a model, I do it in a detailed JPG (3300 x 4300 pixels)
But when I convert it to PDF, I use a program in the web.
And a friend just told me that the final PDF is slighty blurry, so low quality. I'ts hard to see, but I'm a perfectionist.
So I have changed the conversion program and now the quality is the same than the original JPGs.
I'll be spending the next weeks replacing my 250 models in ecardmodels with better quality ones.
I'll be reporting the changes so you can upload the better versions.
Meanwhile the Harbour Air Canada is finished but won't be uploaded yet.

Ok, everybody, I have a question.
First, I'm uploading the 1/72 and 1/33 versions of the Harbour Air "Maple Leaf" to ecardmodels, should be available this weekend.

The question is: which one of the following planes would you like me to do next?
They are:
Maldivian "Dolphin"
TMA 8Q-MAJ
Maldivian Air Taxi
TMA Blue
Nordic Seaplanes (Amphibian!)

The 1/72 and 1/33 versions of the DHC-6 Harbour Air Maple Leaf have been released in ecardmodels.
I'm happy with the Twin Otter, when I released it last year there was no movement, but since Jan 1rst it's being downloaded all the days. Thanks to all of you!

I have been informed by a pilot that the fuel caps aren't dark metal but steel and red.
So... all the following planes will have the right caps. And I'm talking about a 1mm fuel cap, or 2,5mm using 1/33 scale.
I'm going to wait a week or so to see if this pilot doesn't request more details (she will be seen my model and standing on the float of her real plane tomorrow first time)
If you have downloaded a previous Twin Otter, just add a drop of paint with the point of a needle in 1/72 or a pencil in 1/33 scale
I'm not upset, I think is an interesting detail and I keep seen her in the left float with a cellphone in the hand
