Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

Yeah, the Cougar looks nice in FAA markings....!



Remember the Zundapp box... well, this is the kit. This shows the frame and engine, plus rear wheel assembled and some of the wiring. At present, the sidecar, and front forks are assembled, (but not connecter) and the 'Gold Knight' figure has been duplicated so far with the head, upper and lower body pieces molded and glass pieces made....long way to go!

This is the Mallard to date. It is now a 1/48 civil flyingboat and should be finished around August. (that is, if I can work out what markings to put her in!)

Elegant flying boat... Congratulations for this scratchbuilding.

Remember the Russian 5 ton truck.....well, here it is again! I've lengthened the bonnet, changed the cabin and shortened the tray...........

Nice looking work ! Always a pleasure to see your progress. The bike looks awesome !

[Glenn]

This is the Guillow A-1H converted to a AD4W of the FAA Suez crisis (1956)
With one wing in place, it's starting to look finished....but don't hold your breath!

Balsa...1/32

[Glenn]

The Russian truck was 1 of 3 and this is 2 of 3. This, if you remember was a 1/48 GM 6X6 Army truck which is now a 1/35 German army vehicle from a movie I won't mention at present.

This is the third vehicle, the SS 100 converted into a staff car. The wheel base needed was 10' and the SS 100 was just right, but wasn't wide enough, so had to slice it through the middle and extend.

This was the China Clipper, Boeing 314 which will now be a USN Patrol bomber PB-1B. I think I'll use engines from either a B-17 or B-24 as the engines with the kit don't look powerful enough.
Glenn

[Tophe]

Great!
(I have not checked in the previous pages: is the scale the same as your 1/48th Mallard? Probably not, it would be too big, wouldn't it?)

[Glenn]

Tophe, it's the Airfix 1/144 model.

Glenn, have you Considered using the Engines from a B-25 or B-26 or Catalina for Your Project? Just Asking,Buddy. Dan

[Tophe]

One Catalina? Into a twin-engined 314? interesting...

[Glenn]

If I used a Cat or Mitchell, I'd have to buy two models....but with the B-17~B24, only one kit.....
Glenn

BUT, if I used the engines from the kit and some plasticard tubing.....I could do "amazing things to the system....."

PB-1B is a very good idea
