Leave It To Beaver

[Sisko]

Well I have started it.

Cutting and chopping and modifying. I plan to post some pics soon.

I am really digging this build, having so much fun it's a crime.

Started what ? Where's the beef !?

Started what ? Where's the beef !?

Zac gave me a Beaver    for my secert santa.

I have made good progress at the moment and what I had planned in my minds eye is coming to life on the bench. I still have some way to go.

The main problem is several of the past days here it has been around 40 degrees C and my shed is not airconditioned. So no modelling.

I will post pics soon but I want to make sure that the fuselage is done first.

Stay tuned.

Cool Looking forward to seeing some pics of that one. Beavers rule !

Well don't be a (very naughty word) and screw it up.

Well, you knew somebody would say it...

Well it has been a lot scratch building sanding chopping etc and now it is time for an update.

This is my mid 30's light bomber. The clear parts are for the most part scratch built except for the side sindows which are the kit ones.

The turrets are left over from some He-111 kits and I am scratch building new wings at mo.

The original wings will be used for the engine pylons. I then have some spats to make  

While it will be no contest winner I am really enjoying this build as it is giving me a chance to try some new techniques and to stretch myself.

Another veiw.

[Sisko]

Last one.

Still have some way go.

Holy mother of (unpronouncable word) Sisko!!! That's some absolutely amazing work! No one would ever recognize the basis of this incredible project. You've got that 1930's bomber look down pat. My guess is something by Amiot.

And did you say you've got some spats to make? Wow!!!

I can't wait to see your next update!

very cool modifications, this is going to be a great project.

Looking at that nose makes me think that it has to be, absolutely, must be...






French!      

[NARSES2]

OK up-market Bloch design, for those air forces who can afford to protect their air-gunners from the elements ?  

It does look exceptionally 1930's French-ish

Would never have guessed it was a Beaver if you hadn't mentioned it Sisko, you've done a fine job of re-working it!  Looking forward to see how it finishes up.
