Very good wheels for your model, Lou. Sometime  maybe you could elaborate on just how you built the center portions. I know that I've tried in the past (see e.g. my Black Widow) but only with modest success.

The wheel hub is made in MS word using basic shapes but created around 3" /7.5 cm in diameter. Once reduced in size it turn out pretty good. I will make a tutorial in tips and technique later this week as it is my bedtime.

Very nice Lou, I think the grey and white scheme looks great on the larger aircraft types. Regards Paul J.

Roll out was just before noon followed with a luncheon of ginger snap the wife just took out of the oven. I don't know which turned out better. Regardless the Cosmo is done and the CanMilAir decals were wonderful.

Thank you Paul. I really enjoyed this one as I flew in one. On another occasion I was tasked to supply a DC power unit to a visiting  Cosmo. I screwed up and received a chewing out by the Sergeant.
