Rainer Hoffmann Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ah, another Conny! This one and Iain's will make a great pair. Go, go, go guys! As I've said numerous times, I'm not a big fan of props, but a Conny is an alltogether different story. The most elegant transport plane ever to take to the skies (IMHO). Which reminds me, that I have the plans ready for Lufthansa's D-ALIN... Cheers Rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier77 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello to you all. I am sorry no new pictures yet. The tail give me a headtick some times. This is my first vacform kit so i am learning to handel new problems in scale moddeling. A friend of my asked me what the story is about The Da Nang Glider. So i tought let's place the link also on this forum. http://www.westin553.net/batcatTXT01/dng.txt I hope to post some progress pic. soon. I orderd this week my tickets for the Royal International Air Tattoo. I hope that this year the Breitling Connie will return. Last year i have taken lot's of pictures of the engine and the wheelbays. I also did a cockpit tour to put everting on photo. The only thing i did not do well whas to take lot's of photos of the seats. I have send a email to the Aviadrome in Lelystad in Holland. That is our national plane museum. I ask them if it is possible to send me a manual of the Connie. But i have no reply of them yet. Good luck to al of you builds.

Iain Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Rogiér - as posted in my Warning Star thread - I now have some great Illustrated Parts Catalogs for the EC-121K (which is what the USAF Batcat airframes were converted from I believe). Happy to scan and post drawings of things like seats etc. where I have them... Oh - and I live just up the road from Fairford - but won't be going again this year - just not the same these days Iain Rogier77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerDave Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It seems the big Connies are all on the back burner but I wanted to toss out there that I have the Maintenance Manual for the L-749 if any of that is useful to you guys. The landing gear and wings should be nearly identical. My future L-1649 project has even less in common with this manual but its still a really cool book to have laying around! I have several other manuals, maintenance training, flight training, engines, propeller, etc. for the entire series if you need more information on anything.

Guest Maxim Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Great to see someone else tackle the Connie. Love the camo scheme and the clean looks of the bat cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
