  1. Hi, Tony. I found out an old book that is a translation of a french one. Jean Bouillier says that he personally mesured the diameter of the pax windows in the Museum of Le Bourget (F-BAZR). Real thing diameter 365mm; 1/72 scale 5,1mm. link Hope this helps. Best regards. Eugenio
  2. Hi Tomas. That's fun. I was going to post the same link. Considaration: before struggle with scribing, take a look to some photos and try to find really visible pannel lines on an Airbus. Than make your choice. Best regards Eugenio
  3. Hi, Tom. A'm always happy to see a 7C in the works. Good progress Unfortunatelly Heller made a mistake in the istruction sheet (and in the moulds) indicating to glue the air conditioner inlett on the left side of the fuselage. It seems to me from your third pic of your post that you did that way. At this stage, you still are on time to put it on the right side. Lots of images on the web Check also in this thread, there are some interesting drawings. Keeep up the good work. Best regards Eugenio
  4. Dear Giampiero, it's nice to see your signature here. Let me be the first to compliment with you. I think that our learning curve will rise quickly, following your builds. Have a nice day. Eugenio
  5. Hi Paul. Not sure about the painting, so I let other experts explain. I just wanted to bring your attention on the position of the air conditioner inlet, under the belly. The Heller instruction tell to glue it on the left side, but this is wrong: just place it on the riglt side. See this pic. Good luck with your build. Eugenio
  6. Hi, Mike. I think your diagram is right. Look here. If you look closely along the central frame, specialy on top of it, you'll notice the kink. Click on the "Enlarge Image" below the pic. I had that impression seeing a 206 live some years ago, but didn't ivestigate. That's a big challenge for a modeler! Best regards Eugenio
  7. Hi Admiral. Could this be what you're looking for? https://designer.home.xs4all.nl/models/f27/f27mod.htm Bye Eugenio
  8. Hi, there. Do you mean something like that? The images are mine and royalty free. Bye Eugenio
  9. Oh, come on, Silvano: be serious. I've nothing to teach you, nor I had. Ciao
  10. Silvano, this time you've gone beyond yourself. Well, difficult to tell which of your models is the best, but i'm quite sure to say that this one is a step forward the others. Congrats Eugenio
  11. Hi, Lord Riot. It is nice to see a "Seven Seas" coming along. I have investigated this Old Lady when I built one in 1/72nd scale. I have noticed that in the Roden kit, both ailerons have three trim tabs. Actually the left one has, but the right one only two. It is just a little correction with some putty. In the following pic you notice the difference. Keep the nice work up. Best regards Eugenio.
  12. Wow! The Fox and the Cat at work together. A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans. (Rohini Chowdhury) Top modeling in northern Italy. Happy Phase 2. Eugenio
  13. Hi, Silvano. Beautiful job. So another time you're fighting with something that has propellers, or at least something rotating outside the airframe. When I first saw that big stick in the rotor shaft place, I thought you were going to put it on a barbecue. Just kidding. You're really making a masterpiece! Who would expect something different? Ciao Stay healthy - stay home Eugenio
  14. Hi, Giorgio. Glad that you're doing well. When we had a phone call middle march, I felt you weren't in your usual spirit, so I suspected... but the Corona was away from you. Well, now it's over, but take the maximum care of you so that your temporary weakness doesn't compromise things. Eugenio
