This is my major contribution the GB (though I may have a couple of less-ambitious entries as well) - it was a generous prize given by Brian de Basher for the Great War GB. 1/72 scale Roden Curtiss H-16. I will convert it into a pioneer airliner in Alaska - using the decals shown in the second photo. Wish me luck - I'll need it!

The CO approves, please proceed sir :)

Sweet idea!

Cool!
It worked for Aeromarine. :)
Upperçu converted Curtiss HS-2L boats into the Model 80/85 and
Felixstowe F-5Ls into the Model 75.
Here's a Model 80, with the passengers under cover and the pilots out where they belong. ;D

Tourist flights of local area for ~30 minutes in Areomarine Buckeye would be a kick.
Waiting to see H-16 airliner build !

Well, life got in the way of this one, too. I'm still working on it, but the two x 42-piece Liberty engines really slowed me down, and the carpet monster was a major nemesis, too. I might get this done before the VTOL GB starts (hope so, anyway!). Here's a couple of in (little) progress shots:

I wish you luck : excellent project!
