Orso Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) A Ford Trimotor that lost two engines. An Airfix 1/72 conversion. I had very fun building it and that is probably why I managed to finish it before it managed to die as many of my project do. It does look a little different to the standard Trimotor.

kapam Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I took a look at the WIP posts and practically fell off my chair! That is seriously ambitious modelling and executed masterfully! The bar just keeps getting higher at this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 A superb conversion of a type I wasn't aware of until now. The paintwork has a really authentic looking metallic shine to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I wish I had seen your build before I did my Trimotor, there’s some great modeling here that would have helped me a lot. - Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
