Minicraft - Surprised !

There is a big difference between the kits they have been selling for years, and the new ones in the last year or two. It is obvious they are using the new molding technology that companies are going too recently. Really nice detail in engines.  I want to make their new ones with at least one cowl panel open to see those engines (though I will have to scratch the cooling duct panels).

Don !

 I was surprised by that fact .The " Super Cub " was in 1/48 and it even had ( or has ) a multiple part engine .Very well done ! . I think it's going to be fun to build !  T.B.

And an advantage with the Super Cub is that it is a tail-dragger.  The 150 and 172 kits have beautiful engines too, but the tail is very heavy.  According to the instructions, if you want it to sit without bracing the tail up, you must omit the engine, as you need all the volume of the engine compartment for counterweight!  They should mold those engines out of pewter or some other heavy metal alloy!  I put my 172 on a base and glued wheels to base!

Now ;

 There's an idea ! I guess I'll have to get out the lead pot and mold stuff . T.B.
