50 year old Aurora Cessna 337 Kit

[harrysone]

I've been steadily building/modifying/detailing this 1968 boxed Aurora Cessna 337 Kit. I've replaced all the thick glazing (the windscreen is actually a vac-form Khee Kha C180 spare), improved interior detail, replaced the props, scratch built an engine from resin leftovers/spares, added landing lights, modified wingtips from C180/185 bits and scratch-built a cargo pod

The results aren't too bad

Cool! I really like those twin push-pull Cessnas.

Nice! I'm very fond of the double-finned-twin. Which one are you doing? ZK-DFT, DSC..?

Might be TAI actually, either Air Chathams or Air Raro Thinking the latter might be easier to do as inkjet decals as Air Chathams livery was metalic (gold) pinstriping. Do-able but would need to be done on Alps

Bravo Harry, I love seeing old kits get built. Brilliant work thus far!

Great work especial the pannier. I feel guilt at my lack of progress on a pair of 1/32 Roden 337s - well technically a O2A Skymaster and a Reims FTB337G Lynx

some progress...

Beautiful work Harry! I do love seeing vintage kits put together, especially when done to such a high standard!
