Out there, waiting.....
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.

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:.

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.

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!

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.
