Sweet model!  I almost bought that kit when I was in Eastern Europe, and now that I see yours I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy it.

Nice job, thanks for sharing.

Cool model & nice paintjob.

I needed an airliner for the "Last Flight" scenario from Pulp Alley's Perilous Island campaign.  Here's what I came up with: http://colgar6.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/28mm-pulp-aircraft-beech-model-18.html



What do you think?

Great job, Colgar!  I have thought about buying that kit too.  Great to see it in the flesh.  Nice work on the color scheme.

Your blog mentions spinner disks, but few other details.  Was this something you bought?

That looks great!

Nope, just some clear plastic disks, cut from some food packaging and painted.  The secret seems to be to use sandpaper to partially mark them in a rotary fashion before the paint is applied.

Looks great,  have to add that to my wish list.  Really love the spinners.

I have a few ideas to contribute:

This was the closest I could find (not even the same manufacturer, but the same idea):

The Roden DH4 and DH9 kits are on special currently from BNA Model World, but the website is a mess right now.
Avro Anson, anyone?

Excellent!

That liner with the props spooled up looks fantastic!  It's a very classy plane so I want to see it reduce a burly mechanic to a red Pollock painting .

Nicely done! The spinning propeller discs are great!

Here goes, I'm going to try to post my first ever photos on LAF. These first photos are of a pair of wooden airplanes that I picked up for $2 US each. They seem to be Christmas tree ornaments or were otherwise intended to be suspended by wires through the little brass eyes. They look to be the right size, and can be used as is, though I might eventually change the paint jobs a bit. Oh, and that feldgrau colored thing in the background with an iron cross painted on it is a Denny's rocket cup, which cost about $1 US.

Edit: Went back and tried to use the img in brackets, but that didn't work with photos in the LAF gallery.

@warrenbruhn - yes sometimes i have issues posting photos too, a lot of trial and error with the preview.  the rocket cup is a great find.  those planes are fine as is IMHO.

Having been defeated by the photo posting gods, I will nevertheless post links to my new photos in the LAF Gallery of Pulp airplane models. Next up, two photos of my recently acquired tomato red Texaco Grumman Goose. This is an almost all metal coin bank model (see coin slot in the top of the fuselage), so it's heavier than it looks. It needs to be cleaned up a bit, and I should fill in that coin slot, but it could be used as is. I bought it for $12.50 at Junk Junkies in my little town.

Here's two more links to photos in the LAF Gallery, this time of my recently acquired 1936 Chevron Keystone Loening floatplane. It is another almost all metal coin bank, so has some heft to it. The wings are very shiny, and the fuselage is a bit boring, but it can be used as it. Eventually I might add some color, perhaps on the fuselage, but I intend to make a Pulp pilot character to fly this one that I will call "The Grey Ghost," so not too much color. It cost me $15.95, including shipping. It has a flight stand, but that doesn't work very well.
