ianwau Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Calling it done - Piaggio P.166 in Australian markings - as a Snowy Mountains Authority aircraft in the early 1960's ex G-APVE. This model has been 9 months in the making and am happy with the result - a few speed bumps along the way but got there in the end. It's 1:48 scale so wingspan just under 300mm. Build pictures in the 'on the workbench' forum ... ... 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 A very nice job! What was the basis of the kit (or did you build it completely from scratch)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes entirely scratchbuilt, apart from the wheels and props borrowed from the spares box. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Wow! Absolutely wonderful modelling. I am in awe at your scratchbuilding skills! Funnily enough, I was just admiring one of these at the Queensland Air Museum 2 days ago and thinking what a good modelling subject it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
