Popular Post munzieb Posted December 8, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Back in the day, when I worked on GA aircraft, it was common to see a lot of B-18 aircraft. There was something special hearing those round engines cough on start and runup to power and then do their magneto checks. They eventually started to disappear because of an expensive spar mod. This aircraft had a long history with over 9,000 being built between 1937 and 1970. It was used by the military of 40 countries for training and utility work and there are still a few around with private owners and for freight. They could seat from 6 to 10 passengers. As usual, the design took longer that the actual cutting but it was a fun cut. Added the "prop sweep" on my wife's suggestion. It wasn't obvious in the picture but there were some minor reference marks on the fuselage to get the prop length. I used a compass to trace along the edge of the engine cowlings to get the proper ellipse angle for the prop sweep. Dim 17 x 12 on 1/8" BBPW 1/4" PW backer. Shellac and Lacquer finish.

rjR Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Fantastic rendition! I will suggest a darker Frame though. I think it will really make the plane stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
