Great scratchbuilt aircraft at Nats
Posted by Don Stauffer on Monday, August 8, 2011 9:13 AM

I thought there were great scratchbuilt planes at Nats (even if mine didn't win anything).  Loving civil aircraft, I thought the Champion and the Ryan were particularly nice.  Shows that the art of scratch building is alive and well.

The champ boosted my desire to build one.  I have scale drawings available- now to pick a scale and get to work.  So far I have been unable to find any decent photos of a factory interior, but talking to the guy who build the one at the Nats, I think I'll use his interior color scheme.

Here are the planes I really liked in the scratchbuilt aircraft category;

Ryan STA

 

Aeronca Champion

Both outstanding models.
