Boeing 247D, Welsh Models 1/144


Recommended Posts

This one,  just off my very slow production line, is an all resin kit apart from a few detail parts.

It went together well, drilling and pinning the wings and tailplanes before glueing to the fuselage.

I have attempted depicting the various shades of the bare, annodised panels. Later in its life the aircraft was painted grey which would have made life a lot easier.

You will see it is a very small aircraft by modern airliner standards and my photos magnify the model to a worrying extent!

Making this kit has renewed my interest in 1930s airliners so perhaps a DC-2 next.

Very nice! And plans for a DC-2 are supported!

 

I take your point re small scale.  I flew a short commuter flight in a SAAB turboprop last week, and stood in much the same place as your pilot while I waited my turn to climb the airstair. I thought that was small .. it now helps put this in perspective!
