Ein sehr schönes Modell mit eindrucksvoller Präsentation. Hast Du die neben Deinem Heli-Projekt mal ganz nebenbei gebaut, oder ist das ein älteres Werk?

Just beautiful, Bernhard! I love to watch you model! You are so much better at it than I!

Thanks Mates! This is a bit older modeling project. I had a golden age modeling phase between 2003-2006 and created several airliners from the 30s years. Vultee is in 1:72 scale from Special Hobby. The landing gear is completely scratch except the wheels. The engine is upgraded and the entire surface riveted with self made riveter-wheel. As usual for NM-finish I had used BS-special mix consisting of Testors Metalizer, Testors Sealer and Mr Metall from Gunze Sangyo in the same parts.

Those were the days when planes were that beautiful, and you made it a real gem with all the detailing, and that in this rather small scale.
Engine, landing lights, undercarriage and control surfaces are just awesome. Chapeau !

That its very nice of you to have dug up this one year old album.
@Markus: Danke für die Extra Blumen. Ich kann mich erinnern, dass ich sehr viel GEDULD brauchte, besonders bei der Verglasung.

I must say, easily one of the best models builds that I have had the pleasure to have seen. What an absolutely stunning job!

Album info
I have several fields of interest. Besides the US Navy, flying boats also the golden age of flying. Today I would like to show some pictured of my Vultee V-1A in markings of American Airlines.
