SPA Modeler

Yeah that really looks nice!

Superb work my good Sir! Superb!

You want it you got it Lyle. Next up were the decals. Although there is a pretty full suite of service stencils provided on the sheet there are no placement instructions. A glaring omission and my model just didn't get them then. I was worried because the decals seemed pretty thick but they went on ...

I went ahead and did the engines and props. The engines don't look so bad under some paint and a wash as they did when they were just in the olive plastic. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/alongenecker/C-47/20141207_151128_zps8ecad37d.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/alongenecker/C...

Curtis XP-77 Ascender?

Here's a little teaser Lyle.

I'm on it. This thing is a nightmare.

It will be done by the end of the weekend.

Bingo! With a top speed of 870 km/h (540 mph, Mach 0.73) the Tu-114 holds the distinction of being the fastest propeller driven aircraft in the world.

No Mike. Same engines though. This is the fastest propeller driven aircraft in the world and has been since 1960.

This behemoth has 4 15,000 horsepower engines driving contra rotating propellers.
