ARII kit 1/72 Beech V-tail Bonanza PT-CDD

[Anders]

When I, some years ago, the first time saw this beautiful brazilian Bonanza somewhere on the www, I knew I had to make a model of it. ARII has a kit in 1/72, my favourite scale and I started some research online. I only found 2 pictures and one 22sec youtube film of it, but luckily the pics were from both sides and the fim showed more useful details.
The V-tail looks very gracious, the tiptanks and winglets just make it to look even better. I converted the tanks from a Heller Magister, added the winglets from plasticcard, made a new intake on the spine, changed the 2 blade prop against a 3 blade Hartzell propeller. The landing gear included in the kit is not good at all, I converted the tyres from a Beech Mentor and used these gears instead, added brakes and hose to make it more real.
I was a longterm build, it was started 3-4 years ago and I admit that some details could have been done differently but I'm quite satisfied with the result and happy it was finished eventually. And now some pictures, and sorry for posting in english, I'm not familiar with your language
