Glad you like it, guys. I've had a lot of help with this one, so can't take all the credit. She will be available soon, and is loaded with lots of little easter eggs (you can thank my co-conspirator for those).
I do have a C-46 started somewhere. The interface at the nose and tail between the two fuselage diameters has been giving me fits! Maybe someday, the Stratoliner has only taken 5 years

Nope.
I don't have many in progress build pictures, but there are a few. The first ones show the size of the 1/48th scale model on top of our washing machine lid. The finished model in the first picture I posted here was built by my partner in theis design, John Dell.
My copy of the model is only a bit farther along than this, with the wingtips added, and the nacelles started.

Thanks, all. I have a couple of relatives to this plane in the works as well. More when there's enough to show.

These last pictures are really awesome. You've created a whole scene that really recreates that era. It's more than a diorama, it seems very much "alive". Maybe because of the people, they sure were thinner back then!!
Seems like I'm really just stating the obvious but it is a beautiful plane and the design of the model is top notch.

After nearly six years, the first edition of the model is finally done and availble at Ecardmodels. Many Thanks to John Dell, this one is as much his as mine.

The latest version has been added to the collection, the C-75 version. The aircraft of both TWA and Pan Am were "drafted" into military service, but only the TWA aircraft were modified and repainted. "Commanche" represents one of them. Thanks again to John Dell for his great repaints and accessories.

I looked through the thread and don't see it mentioned: where is the collection available? I'd really love to build this aircraft.
Thanks,
Steve

This model collection has met the criteria for a "Build Thread", and as many of the pictures seem to have been lost during the "Dark Ages", it is only fair to post the link to these models. They can be purchased here:
