Roden Boeing 307- Finished!

Slow progress on mine. Matching length was ok; it was height that was off. And why have recessed but still blanked off cabin windows?

The decal kit from Vintage Flyer has the cabin windows. Current struggle is that the wings are from a B-17C and I have to rebuild the lower halves of the nacelles to remove the turbos.

I envy you, Don.

It is a good time to be a modeler - a friend bought the Maquette(?) kit, and it was BAD!  The two fuselage halves were not even the same length!  The quality of the rest of the kit was very poor.  I think that was the only kit where my friend opened the box, perused the contents, closed the box, then got rid of the kit.

Best wishes for your build!  Roden, despite their variable quality (compare their C-141B to their VC-10), are putting out nice kits these days.

 

Yeah, I bought that Maquette kit too.  Threw away the fuselage, kept the wings with the idea I might scratch a fuselage.  I may still do that- that kit was in 1:72 and I might like to have a 1:72 version.  No problem scaling up the decals.
