Cessna Bird dog.

Sharp looking build, congratulations on your bird Dog to be in the museum!

Toshi

Thank's Toshi.

I meant that the real aircraft I have made a model of is hanging in the museum. not my model. Sorry for the confusion.

All the best.

Greg

No problem.  It's all good.

Toshi

Looks good.  I've never seen Austrian aircraft markings before.

Up in Minot I worked for a pilot who had over 900 combat hours in one of those.

it could explain a few things.

Cant see the pics?

Cheers for the cudos guys. Much appreciated.

All the best.

Love the Bird Dog!  Nice build.  Wish they would do more models of the liason aircraft.  Other than the bird dog and L-4, not that many kits out there.

Cheers Don.

I certanly agree. I too like the light aircraft / liason types. I used to own a 1/1 scale Auster MKVI project. Sold that and now I have bought a crashed Cessna 140 fuselage to restore. As for kits There are not that many. In my stash I have another Airfix Bird dog, Airfix Austers, KP cubs, Heller Storches, Sword Austers, A supercub  (can't remember who's though) and a Cessna T41. and that's about it. It'd be nice to have more types available.

All the best

I'd love to see a couple of the utility aircraft that I remember from the war, like the T-39 and the C-140.

Just after the war (WW2), Dad and a friend bought a surplus Taylorcraft L2B.  They had to re-cover it. It was a nice plane, had many rides and trips in that thing.
