I’d love to see you tackle this! Where would you cut the fuselage?

Haven't figured that out yet, Lyle. Probably can get close by counting windows but I may have a drawing around here somewhere.

Very cool kit, Lyle. Can't wail to see what you do with it.

Good choice Lyle - looking forward to seeing it come together!

Thanks. No telling what could happen to it…

I like
It…thank you.

OK, here is a comparison drawing I have worked up from some 3 views I have found in the past. The tail differences are down to the DC-1 drawing not being as accurate as the DC-2 drawing, but I think it is good enough for modeling purposes. It looks like the fuselage was lengthened forward of the wing and the baggage door was re-positioned more forward. Looks pretty doable to change the DC-2 kit to the DC-1, with the added task of making sure the engines are correct for the DC-1.

John, thanks. I could
Not get the picture to expand. I did go looking and found this for a 1/144 version

This rocks Lyle! I have one of these kits stashed in the stash somewhere too. I'll be watching this closely!

Thanks, Mark!
