Try some carpenters glue (variant PVA like the white glues). Titebond II tacks up almost as fast as CA (minimal holding time - one good squeeze for tabs and 15 seconds for edges). Only downside is it does not dry clear ...

Chris from Ecardmodels says all 3 models are available, and already made a few sales (thanks guys).

Now I gotta start new models. I like to have 4 or 5 going at a time.


Send me the pics of the C-21 Willygoat. I found a pic of decals for a model of the C-21, but I wanna compare it to the real thing.

Also, I made some good progress on the Mojave, and started something new (lessee who can guess what it is)

I'll dig through my external hard drive tonight and find those pics. I picked up the Learjet and the Quickie. They look very nice Murph. I can't wait to build them.

One of the most comfortable flights I took in the Air Force, was aboard a C-21 going from Bolling AFB, D.C. to Scott AFB, Ill. It was myself and one other person in the back. Real comfortable ride. 8v)

Murph, I probably have some digital pictures from an airshow, but I need to check. If my pix are prints, I'm outta luck - you may recall the HP all-in-one taking a 'flight' into the backyard...

BTW, that looks a bit like an Long-EZ next to your Mojave.

So that's what that bugger is ... I thought it was another Navy/Marine entry in their ugliest airplane contest.







You have to admit, something about salt water and slamming down onto ships seems to drive robust (now there's a word) design.

Found only 2 good pics of the C-21. Here they are. Basically the same angle. One's a bit farther out.

Murphy, my pix are apparently prints and they are in storage. However, there are a ton of images that come up under a Google search using "C-21 USAF" as keywords. Oddly, my favorite 'walk around' site was lacking any C-21 pix

All the pics match the decals I found online, so doing a version shouldn't be an issue.

I think when Sikorsky designed the Mojave, they were going for the ugliest helicopter contest. (Hoping to spark a lot of posts with other ugly helicopter pics :P )

This is great news! I look forward to seeing your models and will gladly purchase them--I already bought the Quickie and BD-5 from E-Cardmodels.

I live 20 minutes from the EAA Museum and HQ and have lots of friends there. (I do exhibit work there from time to time and have put up two paper model exhibits. The Quickie and BD-5 will end up in one of them.)

If I can help you with drawings, specs, photos, whatever, just ask.
