Paul J Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hmmm... I saw one of these in the MOTAT museum Auckland NZ. Though it had a shorter looking cockpit. A beast of an aeroplane I thought. Could be tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Annoyingly I can't find any photos of that example that I've taken, but they do seem to have had a variety of canopies. Wonderful news. When I saw this thread title I was gobsmacked. No more must we bash Harvards or Wirraways into Ceres shapes and settle for same!

janneman36 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 As there is more too the Ceres story and there is a great book called Ceres, australia’s heavyweight cropduster by Derek Buckmaster. This book has ton’s of info and drawings of this strangelooking Wirraway offspring but was in fact an almost totally new aircraft with a widened centrewing piece and with a higher located aft fuselage as well.. This book is a eyeopener into the design and a must read to everybody interested in building one! https://dbdesignbureau.net/books/ceres/ cheers, Jan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Good news! And, as k5054nz has said, no more need to butcher Wirraway kits to make one! The Ceres was built with, or later modified to have, a variety of canopies. As usual, you need a photo to confirm which one was fitted to the one you're modelling. And another vote for the Buckmaster book - an invaluable reference. It was published in 2017 by Derek's own company.

Graeme H Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 This is one out of left field, will make a good stablemate to the recent 1/72 Transavia Airtruck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 LiftHere! are in consultation with Derek and have the book. It really is a very comprehensive book covering not only the Ceres but the history of agricultural aircraft. Red Roo have done some co-operation with LiftHere! but all we did with the Ceres was suggest it. With the book, no more is required! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 That's fantastic news. I'm not lucky enough to have a copy of the book but I've followed Derek's research for many years and this is a very encouraging piece of news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
