I can't for the life of me find where I found those but here is an example of what I did download some time ago. That one is stone or cement walls. I have wood and corrugated metal also if anyone wants them.

I have neglected to keep this post up to date. Here are the latest in the Small Gem collection. The DHC-4 Caribou and DHC-5 Buffalo are renowned STOL used the world round.

At 1/144 scale they are slightly bigger than a single engine WWII fighter in 1/72.

The RCAF C-47 fits right in with the other two United Nations aircraft. It is my intention to add to the UN fleet in this scale.

Absolutely lovely Lou,three classic aircraft together representing the United Nations workhorses over the years.

I would like to add a DHC-3 Otter, An-26 Curl and several other than feature the white UN paint scheme. The new additions will have to wait until the mood is right.

Lou, they certainly look great as they are now. Nice hangar too.

Latest addition is the Canadair Cosmopolitan. Nestled together under the Comet is my current 1/144 scale collection.(Less Bonnie air fleet).

Lou I think of all your models these are the most charming,I know that you enjoy making your small gems and the collection is something in its own right,they certainly hone your skills in fabricating them to such small scales.

One problem is scale parts can be pretty weak. In this case, the wings are not very thick and I have heard some crackling during normal handling so I now take delicate when moving the Cosmo. I am sure that more Small Gems will be forthcoming.

The latest Small Gem is a De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter in UN colours
