Whatcha want

[doctormax]

this is one of the closest polls i have seen on here, four models within two votes

chris surprised no one did enlarge and rework them two p38's of marek me me wanna enlarge them anyway.

Funny how right now (4:48pm on 6/20) the P-38 is in the lead.

Oh, I'm about 3/4 through with my version of the Skymaster, but I designed it with minimal formers, only the front and back bulkheads of the cockpit interior in fact. I tried going back and inserting formers, but it didn't work. So, in order to do the Skymaster with formers, I gotta start over from scratch.

Oh, and to clear up some confusion on my part... When I think of the Zeppellin Staaken, I get this in my head:


The reason I ask is because of the few mentions of the E 4/20 airliner, which googles up as this:


Not many similiarities that I can see...

My apologies for disrupting the thread...my vote is for the big bomber type of Staaken in the top image but i thought I'd hedge my bets by tossing in mention of the four engined Staaken just in case as it has also been largely neglected by model designers in all media...

Aah, ok. I'll add that one in the next poll

I have enlarged Marek's P-38 J to 1-33 for the Aces of Ecardmodels series....however...I am not skilled enough to create an interior for the cockpit at this time. It also needs wheel wells which would lead to a redesign of the engine pods if that were the case because the current formers in the engine pods would need to be moved and/or redesigned. So...all I have done so far is enlarged the P-38J model, arranged parts on letter sheets, and have built up a white/no markings model to ensure the formers fit due to the enlarging....so far so good.:D I am hoping to start recoloring into some AofE liveries in the next two weeks while I am out training. I have found a few things in the P-38J model that will need to be fixed due to enlarging.

Ummm, here? The 4th most viewed aviation thread on this forum?


My vote is for the Cessna 337 Skymaster

[Sakrison]

Chris,
Don't you mean CESSNA O-2 Skymaster?
The only other Skymaster I know of is the Douglas C-54, military version of the DC-4.

If you do the O-2 Skymaster (oh, please, please, please!!!), ya gotta do it at 1/33.

[russian accent]Curtiss, Cessna...all made in China[/russian accent]

I'm always getting those 2 mixed up, along with Heinkel and Henschel.

Ok, I haven't seen any posts in a day or two, so I'm calling this poll closed.

So, based on order of popularity, amount of requests in the thread, and just because, next up is:

[drum roll]


the HH-3 Jolly Green Giant,


[/drum roll]

(Hope that's the right one, otherwise I just wasted 3 hours searching the internet for nothing)

Then the Cur...Cessna O-2, followed by the Zep Staaken (cause I really wanna design this) then whatever's left in a random order based on what kinda mood I'm in when it's time to select.

As for scale, I don't design to a specific scale (too much math...yuck) I just try to get it as big as I can (remember, I designed the FG me-321/323)

Btw, somebody wanna catch that drum before it rolls away? Thx

Pleeeasseeeee Staken in bomber version...
