Hi to all
After painting the interior of the model , I assembled the resin engine ( Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone) provided by Plus Model ( optional) . I've scratch built the open engine parts and the front & rear radiators panels.
I replaced the rudders with the resin ( Plusmodel ) , ailerons and flaps .
I corrected the ribs of the motors attack, opened the door and left the three oblò on the right side terminal as in real models .
I applied in the wheel bay , the photoetched parts .

I have one of these that I picked up at E-Day a few years back after some serious haggling with the PlusModel guys, despite none of us speaking a common language! :lol: Now you've gone and set the gold standard with your build! :frantic:

Got to follow this excellent build. These don't come along often. Keep up the excellent work.

Cheers,

Tom.

That, my friend, is what we call a labour of love……..your dedication to the task is admirable and I will follow this build quite closely…..I love the Super Constellation……one of my favourite aircraft

Just saw this and I'm liking what I see. You are doing a great job. There is an EC-121 at a museum that is about an hour away and it's a good size aircraft...and sexy curves ;) I didn't realize this kit has been released again and I'm not familiar with PlusModels. I'll have to look into this and see what else they created. Well, you keep up the good work!
