Is is about time I posted something on my 1/72 Lodestar. The RCAF received 14 aircraft for use from 1942 to 1948. As with most of my project, I am using pine as a construction materiel.

The main wing is mated to the fuselage but not glued yet. Next will be the engine cutouts. This project will continue into the new year.

Looks very sturdy. Interesting how the stabilizer sat up on a pedestal and gives it a "T" tail look.

Fraser

It sits on top of the fuselage with a fairing to get that look.

Lou

It gives it a dolphin like profile. 

This will be it for this year. I hope to have it done by the end of January.

 Looking good Lou.

Thank you Gordon.

Engine nacelles are notched to the wing but require some additional shaping.

Lou

Thats looks so good

Thank you Olli.

The Lodestar is assembled and sanded but still has some quality control issues found after the initial coat of primer.

Lou

A cream piece, absolutely cleanly built

Thank you Olli.

Paint has been applied and decals are printed. I now need some touch ups, the addition of a few bits and pieces.
