Who Designed This Twin Beech, D-18S?

[Sakrison]

I'm recoloring this aircraft model, and I would like to contact the person who drew it for permission to share my recolor.
It is dated 2014. I think it is 1/50 scale, but I'm not certain.

That is Gerard Methorst's one. (always one of my favorite twin engined plane-models) He passed on two years ago. So I am afraid you cannot ask for his permission any more.
His site still is up but I presume it isn't maintained.

As Paper Kosmonaut writed that Beechcraft belonged to the late Gerhard Methorst; Argentinian modeler and Forum member Sergio Alejandro Viñals or Vinalssergio155 is the depositary of all of Gerhard's models and he is in close contact with the late´s family.
Unfortunately Sergio is out of modeling activity due to an accident in one of his eyes, but I am going to ask him what can be done.

Thank you, Tony.

Garry Pilsworth also did a Beech D-18/C-45 in 1/48 in the download area.

I have Garry's Twin Beech, but Gehm's D18 is very plain with good panel lines and much easier to recolor in Photoshop.

If you want to re-color a model for private use (no resale), you don’t need to ask anyone for permission.
