Well, my commitment to concentrate on Civil Aviation this year (and after....) has got off to a hesitant start, as I waste my time fooling around with an old Polish bomber. It's a PZL 37B by a Polish kit maker - ZTS. 😯😄😂🙄
My only excuse, and I really need one, is that it's a twin tailed, twin engined 1930s plane and I've been working through a bunch of Lockheed's Twins!!
Anyway it's time to MOVE ON 😎
And I'm making a start on this....
This is more like it!
One of the decal options is for the 1990s Lufthansa historic plane decorated as D-AQUI but that seems to throw up a few issues. Like wrong engines, as it's been fitted with Pratt & Whitney radials.
Doors and windows layout on these are a bit of a minefield really, and a load of exmilitary airframes going on to civil work straight after the WW2.
Straight engines or turned out, doors behind the cockpit.... It's all just as mixed up as the Lockheed Twins situation.
I'm going to have a go at a 1930s plane. Back then Lufthansa named their airliners after famously heroic German pilots and aces of WW1. Boelke was one, and the example supplied on the decal sheet is Manfred himself! On D-ABIK.
At the moment I'm bogged down with building several tiny seats and an interior.
That's right.... I'm doing a fully appointed seating area!! 😊
Windows are quite big and I can get some of the doors open, so I hope this is not a waste of time.
Like a PZL 37B by ZTS....... 😬⚠️
