The High and Mighty, Transocean Stratocruiser 1/72

[VH-WAL]

It is pretty much done, as always no-where near perfect I had issues with the decals over complex curves and not quite fitting exactly in places, still not bad. Got sucked in by the decal instruction re the positioning of the entrance door outline on the fuselage! It should be miles down lower, still I am not going to get riled by it it would take a major operation to remove the incorrectly place outline. Why the High and Mighty? well even though it is the least good looking of postwar piston airliners but Ernest K Gann author of the High and Mighty and other great aviation books used to fly these for TAL, this looks pretty good in the cabinet.

Outstanding Wally! I never read this book of Gann's but thoroughly enjoyed "Fate is the Hunter".

Top marks once again on this build ol' chap!

Cheers

Thanks guys, loving this big bugger on the shelf, I am going through a propliner craze at the moment, just started rescribing a Heller L749, then when I get rid of the other crap on the bench (including Airfix Concorde - shudder) I might also start on my DC-7 conversion
