Hi everyone! Had entered this beauty in @airbum 's SAS 75th Anniversary GB, but, though started...https://imodeler.com/groups/sas-75th-anniversary/forum/topic/heller-1-72-dc-6b-super-cloudmaster/?topic_page=1&num=15 ...it somehow stalled in the way. Here she is so far...
Glad to see this DC6 has returned to your bench, Spiros @fiveten Looking forward to it.
That’ll be a giant when you have it completed , Spiros @fiveten. I’ve considered getting a Heller 1/72 Constellation, but display space is a concern for such a large airplane . .
Thanks my friends @johnb and @ssgt! Yes, it is BIG!
I built the Heller Constellation many many moons ago and it is indeed a big model. I'm sure this is nearly as large. Looking at the plastic, it looks like it was molded in a similar manner to the Connie kit (even the same colors). I've always liked the DC-4 / DC-6 family of aircraft. I may have to look for a 1/144 scale to go with my recently completed 1/133 Connie.
I know the feeling. A little bit at a time, Spiros. You’ll get her done. My Connie is waiting for a solid block of days to devote to painting.
Glad to see you are doing this one again, Spiros (@fiveten). I am sure your magic touch will get it over the finish line. I have a Heller EC-121 that I want to get around to doing. You know the story: Too many models, too little time.
Thanks so much, my friend @clipper! An 1/144 DC-4/6 sounds great (I believe 1/144 is the most "appropriate" scale for such big planes).
Thanks my friend @j-healy! Yeah, that feeling... One bit at a time will do.
Thanks my friend @gblair! I also have an EC-121, almost finished, peeking at times...yeah, too many models, too little time...
