Something different for everyone to see

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

After all this time, I’ve finally finished building my little Pipers!

Here they are:

This is my Piper Aztec in 1/72 scale:

And here is my Piper Cherokee in 1/72 scale:

I hope you like them.

Also, Greg, I found the parts that I thought were missing from the Piper Aztec kit that is waiting here. It is complete! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Nice builds !
You’re right, there are not many civil aircraft kits made, built, or shown on the large amount of forums out there.

Very refreshing ! Thanks for sharing.

Obiwan, so far there are no kits of those in 1/72 scale. I wish there was! I did see a couple Cessna’s in 12/48 scale, but they are rare. I can’t remember who makes them. That wet tarmac is the surface of my workbench! Yeah it does make a great photo base! I have another workbench next to it that has a fine particle board surface that looks like sand, and looks great for me Armor models.

Whoa, civilian planes, that is a little different. Nice!

tooo bad there are none of those[sigh][sigh]
the tarmac is really great , when i first saw the model on
it I thought it was a photograph of the real thing…

thanks for sharing

Really nice work. Don’t get to see much in the way of civil aviation stuff. It’s a nice change. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Good looking glossy finish on those civil birds. They look really nice.

I like these very much. I learned to fly on a Cherokee 140, and a fellow offered me multi-engine training in an Aztec, but that is a story for another day.
You wouldn’t happen to know if there is a 1:48 kit out there somewhere, eh?

Aurora made Cessna 310 and Piper Aztec plastic kits, back in the early 60’s, that can still be found sometimes on E-Bay.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone! [:)] Thanks to oldhooker as well for that list of 1/48 scale stuff. As I build only in1/72 scale, it doesn’t help me much, but I’m glad you were able to help Bruce. [^]

I apologize about the Pictures. I believe they were moved from the Uploads section of Rongeorge’s site to Aircraft. [:I]

Here they are:

Piper Aztec in 1/72 scale:

and the Piper Cherokee in 1/72 scale:

I’m sorry the pics couldn’t be sharper. [V] My Digicam really is old and obsolete! Maybe when my Birthday comes along…[;)][:D]
