stevehnz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Would be good news but I'm not seeing it in that link, plenty Bellancas & Proctors in 1/72, was it in 1/48. I wasn't paying attention. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish Dora Wings would do these in 1/48 scale, instead of 1/72. MPM and Special Hobby already produce a 1/72 Vega and Orion and they aren't bad kits. Both have their errors (i.e. like all the 1/72 single engine Lockheed kits the tailsurfaces are much too thick and have inaccurate airfoil shapes) but these can be fixed without too much trouble. I hope Dora Wings does thorough research on their planned Vega and Orion as these old single-engine Lockheeds went through MANY changes and modifications. A 'one-size-fits-all' kit won't work at all. And I wonder what Dora Wings is using for their drawings/research as none of the experts I know on these old Lockheeds have been contacted. Perhaps Dora Wings is using the old Wylam and Matt drawings, which are fairly accurate. Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Now the Lockheed Vega model is in development, the scale is 1/48. Then, probably towards the end of the year, work on Orion will begin, also 1/48. 1/72 is scheduled for next year. In any case, 3D design will be much better than old kits. You are right, at the base of the 3D model of Vega will be the drawings of Wylam. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back when Wylam did his single-engine Lockheed drawings he supposedly had access to the Lockheed originals. However, Wylam got the Vega EDO float drawings totally wrong so be sure to avoid those.

JohnHaa Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hallo Folks, Many years ago I built the Lindberg Winnie Mae and also the AMT version (with the cabin windows) Further modified the AMT to a Sirius and a Orion. It would be nice when this old kits are replaced by something better...in 1/48 scale...:-) Lets hope for the better..

kopperhed Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Dora Wings is doing good work. As a 48th scale mid-war fan all of this will keep me a customer for a long time. I've always been a fan of the Bellanca Aircruiser, though... hint hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
