This one looks like everyone is having fun, I thought I might add my simple build to the snowy fray. Just a regular Revell DC-3 done in a period airliner, but fit out to go out to where the real fun begins. In the snow!

Look behind you!

Glad to have you Eddie!  What kit is it?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

It's the Revell 1/90. They used to be dirty cheap at Walmart, so I had a few. This is the last one. I've decided to make this a sight seeing aircraft and as such, have been adding extra viewing portals.

Look behind you!

More mods to the engine. Here's the source of some of my brainstorms. Rockstar and Gatorade. ;D

Welcome aboard Master Chief :)

What sight are they seeing?  The crashed alien spaceship that has lain dormant for 10 years...? :wacko:

Now there's an idea! I had planned on getting this one done fairly quickly, so I might be able to do my first dio. Snow is easy to make,right?

Here's my first try at using soda can aluminum for engine mods. A little tweak here and there and this should come out looking okay.

Wow that's one very convincing looking set of cowl flaps there, Eddie@ I was already impressed with the new view ports on the fuselage, but you're really taking this to a higher level with fantastic detailing!

Heh, heh, I was just pulling out my own (Airfix) DC-3 to put skis on it, too, when I saw this, Eddie.  I think one Gooney-Bird is enough for the group build so I look forward to this.  Can't believe that drink you've got on the go, though.  Do the two not even mix?  Looks like an old lava-lamp!

By the way, if anyone is looking for some good inspiration for skis on aircraft, these are pretty cool. :)
