jeaton01 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 C, I think there is something odd about the stance of the landing gear on the Questor airplane. The airplane sat dead level normally, it would stay on the runway until you got to Chile without a pretty good rotation, and sat very close to the ground. Here's a front view from a brochure I've had since about 1957. And an interior drawing, though you are well past that. Most often the two aft seats were replaced by full width 3 place seat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see with joy John that you belong to the "References After the Facto" school of modeling, my dear friend. Your information is going to be very useful in another 100 years when another modeler tackles this kit. My gratitude knows no boundaries. (nice drawings!)

And also have to pay bills (worse no doubt than getting no ice-cream) Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Decal application begins: Other details like anti-glare panel, props, wire antenna, Pitots, lights, exhausts, nav lights, etc., are added: Tomorrow hopefully when all is dry I can take some photos: The decals behaved very well. I just added the black anti-icing booths from spares. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Looks great Moa. I can't help but notice that the decals have matt finish? What do you use after decals to blend it all in? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
