Ford Tri-Motor......

Hey, Guys..... Time to switch to something non-automotive for this project. Kit is from Ollie's. I worked the gap away going down the spine with an emery board. There's a bit of misalignment along the front of the wings...... Not sure how to correct it. Our resident vintage model plane expert Mr. Snake said to just 'have FUN with it', so I'm not going to add any details or anything, just what's in the box...... The engines are about the size of a quarter.

I painted the engines black, then dry brushed the details with silver.

This kit only has 40 pieces, kinda simple. Should be a quick build!

I've got a coat of primer on all the 'body' parts...... There's still a few seams showing. I've been filling those with PVA glue, seems to be working! Also, I put a coat of clear on the props to finish the engines......

Looks Great.

I've flown in one.

That's Cool........   My neighbor friend called it a 'puddle jumper'.

Got the white for the main color.... It turned out all different sheens, so I put a coat of matte clear on everything to make it all the same shine.

Good thing I enjoy masking............

Turned out okay, I guess! Just a couple spots to touch up...........

Now this would be fun masking:

This was some kids school bus back in the days.

Thanks for the comments, fellas!

Today I added some embellishment to the side stripe with some foil..... Also got the nacelles painted.
