follasha Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Here's my build of a 'classic' 1968 1/72 Aurora Cessna 337 SkyMaster... I used vac-form windscreen and props from spares box (Khee-Kha C185 leftovers) & replaced the rest of the cabin glazing. Apart from the scratch-built pannier the rest is original Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr Untitled by Harry Follas, on Flickr 51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wlad Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Nicely done. I grew up by an airfield and there was a Skymaster based there. I can hear the distinct roar of the Skymaster just now 🙂 Cheers, Wlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidave4 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Nicely done. An aeroplane from my past - I spannered on one at Luton Flying Club in the sixties but did not know Chathams had operated them and have never seen one here. It seems at least one of everything gets to NZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 That is a nice build/reno. I used to have the same kit finished as a Canadian Coast Guard example with JBOT decals. But it got badly damaged and discarded sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 A very nice build, there seems too be an increasing interest in general aviation subjects which is good to see ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems at least one of everything gets to NZ! ‘TAI was air Chathams first aircraft back during the early ‘80s. In fact Craig Emeny (CEO) purchased it from Air Rarotonga (now Air Raro), it was their first aircraft also. Craig used TAI to ferry fresh crayfish from Pitt Island to Main Chatham Island and then to the mainland. It’s how Air Chathams began, passengers have always been secondary on that service. TAI came to grief at some stage in the Chatham Islands during 1980s early 90s. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfman It's definitely good to see! The model is proof positive there is an appeal in general aviation planes. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
