First Williams kit I will have tried. I have two others, the Curtis C-46.
Not sure about the decals, showing a bit of age, but they are scanned in.
The instructions on this one are a hoot! Should be fun. This is it.
Sprues are simple enough.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That is a Cessna Bamboo Bomber. I am adding the URL to the correct thread. Apologies. Here is the restored Boeing 247 at the same museum:.

Make more models!
Re: Boeing 247 1/72 Williams
Thanks for these, too. No apologies needed. I had figured out that it was a T-50, but wanted some more pictures. "You done, good!" as we would say.

Re: Boeing 247 1/72 Williams
Ah yes, a Williams Bros. kit! I built the C-46 and it's a toughie, especially when it comes to adding the clear canopy/windscreen for the cockpit. This looks to be a simpler build; I might have to get me one of these.
Bring it on Lyle!

Re: Boeing 247 1/72 Williams
Likely next up. I have two of the C-46 kits. Heard about the canopy, so I bought the one piece for them.

Smart move. I didn't have the funds for one at the time I built mine. Somehow I still managed to make mine look acceptable.
