Thanks, Jim. I think it's fairly safe to say it isn't the ugliest duckling in the VA pond. :-) |

I never thought the Pilatus was an attractive plane, but it sure does its job well. I flew in one over the Grand Canyon. They are great for short runways, can carry several people, have lots of windows for the site-seers. Unless you are sitting in the very back, with no air circulation on a hot day. Air-sickness here I come! It wasn't fun crawling back to the hotel from the Grand Canyon Airport.
But you have yet another beautiful model David. |

No, sorry. These were cast by Al, Julnick, from the wheels in a 1/32 scale plastic Hellcat. They were originally done by Ted Richards for my B-29 Night Prowler. Al made me several sets, enough for a couple of years, and there are also some a bit larger. I have all the originals, just in case. :) |

Nice pair DD. Did you ever say where you got the spiffy wheels? |

The Porter is a large plane! THese are both designed by Howard, Kittyfritters, and are both great kits. |

The Pilatus came in for maintenance today and got new wheels! |

I find a well-lit, colorful environment to be highly nutritious to the creative spirit. If you live in a cave you're likely to make cave art all covered with soot from the whale oil lamps. |

The master's workshop, very colorful. |

thanks dd! |

Brian: I always use Titanium white and cadmium red medium for base red and white. Those are colors in artists acrylic. You can find a color chart of liquitex colors on the web and compare them to what you're using. Titanium white is pure white and the red is similar to Insignia Red. |

hjlittman, yeah your right. But the Beaver does have optional floats you can build (free plans come with the Beaver)and she is such a beautiful bush craft. I have one waiting to be built...but this one is different and like you said not sure why it hasn't been converted more. Now I really want to get one done. What about yourself...you going to electrify this baby? |

I'm very surprised that more conversions of it aren't done. It has very good proportions, but for some reason, more people seem to want to convert the Beaver.

Thanks. It's a great kit and there's plenty of room inside for gear. |

Which is why my canvas doesn't even try! |

Mothers Nature's canvas can't be beat! |

simply beautiful...must visit there sometime...if I only knew where it was...? |
RCeverything, Comment for image # 29330 | 02 Sep 13 10:17 |
Nice shot! I need to get me one of those and put some micro gear in that baby. |
David Duckett, Comment for image # 29757 | 01 Sep 13 11:08 |
Thanks, John. It's all equally satisfying to me. |
