Fairchild 24R, A36-2, 1 CF RAAF Laverton Vic 1942.
1/72 Legato, finished in MM enamels with Future over the decals, I didn't like the kit offering so I built my own engine, not painted, just different colored plastic, shame you can't see it ! but I did take photos.
9 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Nice little build, Allan...don't think I've seen one before (sorta puts me in mind of a Stinson).

Allan, impressed aircraft? And they left it in its civvie colors, to boot. Pretty aircraft, didn't know there was a kit out there. Beautiful job on her. Just says "30s".
Allan J Withers said on May 29, 2016
Thanks Bernard, yes impressed, we had three 24Rs and one 24G for communications.

Saw a 1:1 out at Chino about 20 years ago in FAA camo with yellow lowers, full original interior as a nav trainer.
Looks nice!

You sure have a knack for finding unusual subjects! Very nice looking, and I commiserate with you about hiding all that engine work under the cowling! One advantage I have to building everything wheels up is I never have open panels or gear bays to have to detail out... lazy man's way out?!
Allan J Withers said on May 31, 2016
Thanks Greg.

Brilliant little build with a nice even bright red paint job. Which isn't always the easiest paint to spray onto a kit. Looking forward to seeing you next jewel Allen.

Thanks Stephen.
