Douglas Dakota
This one ? No
Or this one ? Yes, the Transport Wings decals are nice
This one is also possible
Electronics to be built inside
Control building position
Baseplate with Model Scenery Print. My clubmembers considered the concrete to be too bluish, so...
I made it over with a greyer print and Revell weathering powder
"real" electronics added : wing and fuselage lights, motors
and an Arduino Nano for steering the functions
Test before closing the cockpit : it works !
some progress: fuselage and wings assembled, white AK primer applied on top
AK black undercoat for ALU finish
idem: Black undercoat for ALU finish
Alu paint added, some surgery needed for fixing the circuits, but everything seems to work as programmed
catastrophy: broken dakota will go to other project
airfix dakota : landing lights work fine
airfix dakota : navigation lights work fine
battery packs and power bank : 5 V power supplies
arduino fitted, landing lights and nav lights work
as it is an airliner, the interior should look like an airliner.
The passengers arrived: Slater's assorted figures
wiring in the wing
Slaters figures as passengers
electronics check : OK
passengers and crew ready, cabin and cockpit lights working
Closing the fuselage
painting on its way
one engine fixed
one engine running
And two
the base
a proximity sensor in the cabin
Underneath : wiring , an arduino, a mp3 player , a small speaker and the battery pack
