Flaps in the landing position for the Douglas DC-6 in 1:144 scale. An accessory for modelers who want to catch the piston-engined four-engine airliner over the runway threshold. Intended for the Roden kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
A detail set for the model of the postwar piston-engined airliner of American manufacture, worked out for 1:144 scale. Instead of a closed trailing edge you get a rendition with the flaps fully extended. The kit the solution is derived from you will learn from the name of the item. The target kit is Roden.
The DC-6 grew out of a wartime design and became the backbone of long-distance routes at a time when jets were still maturing on the drawing board. A pressurized cabin allowed flight at altitudes above the bad weather, and four air-cooled radial engines gave the machine a range across the ocean. Anyone who remembers the airports of the 1950s associates this slender fuselage with its trio of small windows one above the other with the era when flying was still a ceremony.
Most of these machines wore a polished metal finish, which on a model puts the preparation of the surface to the test. So seat and sand the flaps before painting, so that no scratches are left under the metallic finish. Paint the inner surfaces separately and only then glue the assembly together. Hold the small guide parts with tweezers; fingers cannot be used at this scale. The shade inside the flap mechanism tends to be lighter than the upper side of the wing, and that difference is worth suggesting.
