Hello!
Here is my curent project. It's a Heller 1/72nd, DC-6 which I am planing building in Adria Inex livery. It should look something like this...

Here are some inprogress pictures. I won't bore you with my writing, pictures tell a thousand words anyway. But if someone has some questions, I will be happy to reply.














And some progress from yesterday...



This is it, for now. Will post more when I have something to show.

Thank you for looking in!

Holy crap. Looks like my DC-6 is gonna stay in the stash for a very long time after seeing this one. Deadset amazing work there Uros. Bloody well done

What Paul said
That is just amazing work.

Great stuff. Is the paint jar in there just to show size, or is there an underlying purpose for it such as adding more weight?

Thanks guys!
Destroyer, yes its for adding weight. This model neds a lot of it and I ran out of lead weights, so I had to improvise.

Some truly amazing work there, and would never have thought about using a paint jar for a nose weight, also very much like the scheme you have chosen

Welcome Uros , some very nice work there . Gotta love a big prop !! Looking forward to your progress on this one .

Truly inspiring work there Uros! Loving that nose weight too!

Cheers

Adam

Thanks guys!
A bit of progress over the weekend...
Tail section is finished. It needs a bit more sanding, but I'll do that later, when I spray some primer. I've cut away all control surfaces and added a bit more detail.






Also did this intake. Is a piece of styrene roled into tube and sandwiched betwen two thicher pieces.


And this. I have no idea what it is, but I know its there. Mesh is from an oil filter.

I need to finish nose wheel well next, then I'm off to wings. So far it's comming together pretty quick. I hope its stays that way.
Thanks for looking!

I like the extra detail you are adding with the fin intake and mesh. I am guessing after you separated the control surfaces you lined the cuts with thin card?
