Aviat A-1 Husky

236k jamesPLANESii  8.4 years ago

Good morning everyone! I started making this plane more than 5 months ago! Back then I wasn't even on 10K! Can you beleve it? The reason it took so long is because building this on my iPad it was getting waaaaaaaaaaaay too fiddly and complicated because there were heaps of parts that wouldn't stick on, such as the wing braces and the tail, so I abandoned it. The reason I have recontinued with this is becuse I found that you guys like my replicas, so here it is. The modifications I did... d to it since then 5 months ago took longer to do than my Scout Messenger took to build! (And that has almost 400 parts!) Speaking of which, I'm quite glad that I stopped building it on my iPad. Anyway, after that forum post I did last night, quite a lot of you wanted a yellow one, so I looked up the coolest yellow livery, and came up with this. It's heaps better than my red one. And that's how it came about.

VTOL down for flaps, 1:1 scale, enjoy!
