Ford Tri-Motor Finished....

[JollySipper]

Well, Guys, I guess this is completed! I kinda like the way it turned out....... Not bad for a $12 Ollie's kit.

Please feel free to comment, and thank you for letting me post this!

[Jim B]

Great looking plane.

That looks great.  Really like the colors.

Thanks, guys! It turned out okay, considering it's made of only about 40 parts..........

Paint scheme looks great. Nice job, sir.

Love the paint scheme.  We just had one land in town for the weekend.  They're giving rides in it for $60.

Definitely not bad . . . I think it looks great !  Always liked the look of the Tri-Motor and your color combo really sets it apart from the all silver ones I've seen !

[JollySipper]

Cool Beans.... I'm really glad y'all like it. and Thanks again for letting me post it.......

Nicely done! I remember building one of these as a kid and brush painting the entire thing with Testors silver enamel...

Very nice model.

Did you build it from the 1/72 scale Airfix kit or the Monogram one that I think might had been a bit smaller?

A French company displayed a resin kit in 1/48th scale at one of the IPMS Telford SMW Shows a way back, but that was all I saw of it. I think that Williams did a kit of the single seat Ford Flivver in 1/48 scale that was constructed of corrugated panels fitted like the old Stout Aircraft Company Tri Motor that Ford bought out.

Hey, Friend....... Thanks! It's the Monogram kit, which I was told is in 'box scale'......... It says 1/77.

Looks great. Is that the old Monogram kit reissued?

Yep, sure is.............

I can remember building the Monogram one many, many years ago.  I think it had an option to have it on sleds, and included a little dog pulled sledge too.
