I was goaded into action to have another go at a half-built model of Walter Beech's fabulous little twin engined beauty.
Sitting in the box of rejects was my half baked effort with this tricky Pioneer kit, while I watched in awe as the inestimable Moa charmed the same bunch of styrene into a striking replica of the plane, while doing a Vacform version too.
I had to have another go.....
Then I picked up a new one - PM have just reissued this in 3 versions - thinking my 2nd effort should be better 😏
And so, I have a double build on my hands!
Decor is with reference to the AVA aeroplane, without being a replica. That would require some modifications on the airframe.
Done in foil, without recourse to resin or add ons, it has been a character-building process at times, challenging and rewarding.
Here are the 2 little rescals....
Airframe no.1,
And no. 2, door open, interior seating, better shine and tidier foil,
I'll try for a few more pictures when I get a chance 😎
