Finished my Beech D-18 (Twin Beech) this morning and took some photo backdrop pictures. I will take some eBay style photos later.

It's one thing (a big thing) to get a good alclad finish. It's another to get one on a model thats notoriously hard to get to go together.

Wonderful work, I love it- the model, the era, the pictures. We need a 247...

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Don,

Wow! That is a beautiful construction! Add some fog and you could swear...

Kinda reminds me of this (although it's an Electra 12A).

Had a ride on one of those "leaping Lenas" way back when, with a bunch of good ol' Southern guys, from N. Carolina to Arkansas. We had a bottle of Jack Daniels and a bottle of Beefeater, and by the end of the ride we were all good buddies and feeling no pain! Great memories!

Nice model, Don!

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
