John,
Would you happen to have a pattern for the floor?

Why, yes I do, Lyle! I'll do a drawing of it tomorrow, but here's a picture of the parts on my web site, which also had photos of the build.

Hey John, I looked at your build pics and I'm curious what you use for your antenna wires. They look great.
Thanks,
John

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
John, I think I used E Z Line on the C-46. I'm using the Uschi brand now, fine and exta fine. The extra fine is scale for 1/48 but is almost invisible. Here is the extra fine on a Tamiya Betty:

Lyle, here's the drawing, and a link to where you can download it as a pdf which might be better for printing to the right size.

Thanks, John!
Did you have much work joining the wing center to the fuselage?

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
I don't remember for sure Lyle, but that part that goes in the front of the wing center section will help with that, and also look at the web page where I spread the aft lower fuselage to fit to the wing better.
Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Will do! Thanks again.
