fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 A model from 4 years ago, to further illustrate vacuform construction. Here is the PANAGRA Fairchild FC-2W2 that used to land in Buenos Aires. There is one not very good photo showing extensive modifications on the fuselage with added windows. The same photos shows tail and wing bands (visual aids). Bear in mind that this very plane suffered many transformations along its career and wore different schemes, and that the plane depicted had these special bands on the wing tips and ahead of the ailerons, as a visual/rescue aid. Before being crashed and modified with the additional windows, this plane appears painted in something that renders almost black in B&W photos, showing a more common window configuration. This kit is an example of a currently produced good vacuform kit from a manufacturer that cares about his customers and product. I made my own decals on this occasion. 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Great airplane and great photography. I have heard nothing but good things about Khee-Kha so it is good to hear you confirm this. I just wish they did 1/48 aircraft as I love their choice of planes they have put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Monday Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Compared to your scratch-built projects, this must have been easy to build. Impossible still for the rest of us, but easy for you. Flawless model. BM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael louey Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Great photos. Khee Ka look like good kits. I've only seen a few but they all seem to end up very nice. Edited September 27, 2018 by Michael louey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
