I've got in 1/72 An early Cessna 180 (Khee Khaa Vac kit) and an Auster J1 in production. The Auster is modded from the Airfix AOP VI kit, it has a new vertical tail and modified glazing (I also trying a fabric/stringer effect) and new wheels borrowed from a Cessna Bird dog. It will be BDX? The Cessna will be BMP   20190512_232206 by Harry Follas, on Flickr  20190512_232403 by Harry Follas, on Flickr |

Very nice indeed. Ref the bracing wires and radio wires: a friend Jiri Kure made a P-47N for me and it has the radio mast wire. It is so thin as to be almost invisible. I have no idea how he did it.

Thanks Guys, I have photos taken at the Hermitage last year (hopefully) there should be enough detail to complete BDX rigging/livery etc...I use EzLine elastic for rigging, you can stretch it pretty fine before you CA it & fortunately it has tons of give to handle any rough treatment. Progress...I have BMP painted, I got the colours for the original livery with Mount Cook AL from an old tourist video. Just needs the rigging added  BMP_1 by Harry Follas, on Flickr  BMP_2 by Harry Follas, on Flickr  BMP by Harry Follas, on Flickr  Ski_planes by Harry Follas, on Flickr The Auster has progressed, it now looks more like a civilian J1 than the original AOP configuration. I have added a basic interior including a panel from an Airfix tigermoth, 3 spare seats from a Percival Vega Gull and a couple of control sticks.

Oh, that colour scheme on the 180 - YUM!! Cessna, what ever happened to your scheme-designers? No money huh? Certainly no current imagination or style sense... Great job Harry! For both!
