  1. Great work ,impressive finish, see real LIM week ago at Krakow , but why, oh why, both ailerons down?
  2. Past 15 years in 1/32 scale... Smaller , 48/72/144/200 needs another video/slideshow clip.
  3. Well Mike, its Italia, actually, but in ex YU we are never short of spray cans ( and idiots too) :-)
  4. Past weekend , Trieste, Italy, in front of closed "TOM HOBBY" store, scale modelling icon for all ex Yugoslavia modellers, imperative models supplier in 1980's-1990's. Visited this location from pure nostalgic reasons. Just a quick jump from Kranj-Slovenia, "Svet v malem" modelling contest and modell festival. http://www.svm.si/reportaza-11-festival-svet-v-malem/
  5. Graphtec Craft Robo CC 200-20 (OOP now), with Corel Draw plugin, on Oramask 810 is my current setup.
  6. Yeah, Tri-Pacer , always confused with recognising these two versions. I'm more fond of taildraggers .
  7. No, its WAGNER 2 , twin engined PA 22 Colt , http://www.aerofiles.com/_wa.html
  8. "The THING" , "Double or Nothing" , "Piper Bomber" , "Twin Piper" , lot of names for this unusual brainchild of Mr. Harold Wagner of the Wagner Aircraft Co. at Troh's Skyport, Portland, Oregon. He wanted to create a simple and cheap twin engine SUV type aircraft. This strange aircraft, nicknamed "The Thing" by Wagner himself. It consisted of a 65 hp Continental C-65 powered J-3 Cub and an 85 hp Continental C-85 powered PA-11 Cub Special fuselage mounted side-by-side using a small wing center section and central tail plane. The outer wing panels and tail planes were standard components. Later was 65 HP Continental from J-3 removed and 85 hp Continental C-85 was installed. The resulting aircraft looked so odd that Wagner called it "The Thing". The two fuselages were located closer to each other than on any other dual-fuselage aircraft. The combined horsepower would in theory support four passengers, but the increased wing loading prevented this. Hence only the right hand fuselage could be occupied by a pilot and passenger, the left hand one serving only the purpose of engine mounting. The twin Cub was first flown on December 6, 1951, after 150 flying hours it was returned to standard configuration. I do some drawings and prepare artwork for set of home printed decals and airbrushing masks, for this build. Having few of Revell Piper Cub's on shelf, this is the easy way to reduce plastic stock and build unusual and eye catching model. Closest PA-11 and J-3 version from Revell CUB offer is this one, PA-18-95 with 95 HP continental with similar nose cowlings, wings and tail ,to PA-11 model . Kit is partially started, removing some parts from sprues and preparing for assembly, hope this start up stage classifies to this group build.
