| If anyone is thinking of putting one of these larger scale aircraft on floats - you can use the guillows float kit and just add anywhere from a 1/2" to a 1" thick section at the step - and they work nicely |

| Thank you for your kind remarks - much appreciated! The folks at Dumas did a terrific job creating the kit - a very nice canvas on which to express my fondness for this iconic classic Golden Age air frame. We are lucky to have so many great kit mfgs turning out marvelous products today. |

| Heywood, you really out did yourself. Paid a lot of attention to detail such as the fuel caps on the wings along with their vents. Fantastic paint and trim. That rigging looks great. |

| that's probably the best method - too often I get rolling on an area of the build and forget to take pictures of how I might have solved a problem or modified something. Afterwards I think, I wish I would have documented that with a photo...
Like when I stretched these floats..not one pic. |

| I try to use the space provided for initial comments to tell what I'm doing and use the comments & discussion space to answer any questions or clarify a point. |

| I know most folks here have their own methods and tricks but for the casual browser or someone who finds themselves on this website because of a passing interest in scale models or aviation, and really for that reason alone I guess I sometimes write unsolicited commentary on my methods here and there. I guess I probably talk too much at social gatherings too lol |

| thanks, Don - it's funny - but with all those big windows the interior still isn't easy to get a real good look at. |

| the windscreen is attached along the fuselage with a very light touch of CYA adhesive (medium) applied with a pin. But first I use the windscreen paper pattern to make a masking tape strip that holds the sides and bottom edges of the 'screen in place. I take two layers of tape off the roll, paint it white to match the fuselage, trace the pattern onto it and cut it out - then just peel off the top layer. and there is the 'moulding' to hold the windscreen down. I then seal it with a 50-50 mix of white glue and water applied with a brush |

| first attempt to use a Faber-Castell ultra-fine marker to draw in the two doors. This image also shows the pulleys and rudder rigging. The cleats I made from sheet styrene cut and shaped to size. |
