Howdy Guys and Gals,

Ok, for todays model, I decided to go with an Older civillian personal aircraft from the 1930's, the Stinson Reliant SR-9. I cant tell you alot about the aircraft but I know that 1,327 were made from 1933 to 1941, in different models, from SR-1 to SR-10. The ultimate model, the Stinson Reliant SR-10 was introduced in 1938.
This is AMT's 1:48 scale version of this Popular Vintage aircraft. I was going to do it in "Civil Defence" markings like I have seen on a few of them, but it has already gotten late tonight and I didnt feel like looking up the insignia , converting them to .jpegs, resizing and printing my own decals....I might tomorrow since I havent put away all my building materials or as of yet found a place to display the model....right now it sits on my kitchen table waiting for a home lol.
But, Here she is outside on the hood of my pick-up truck. (If you look close, you might even see a windshield wiper arm in one of the photos. The reflection on the truck hood was achieved by "cheating"....I poured water on it before the photos lol).

I know its not a B-17 or a B-29, but, with my neck in the shape its in, smaller, quicker builds are better, but who knows, I may suprise myself and ya'll before long.

Have a good day,

greg
