1978 Mears CAM2 PC-6

Just under the wire for the build o rama, right?

I may do another one after Calvin's WIP, but for now this is good enough! Classic case of I know there is lots wrong, but c'est la vie. I did add the rear bulkhead and made skirts out of heavy foil, which may be too big and turned out to be a bigger pain than I expected to attach, but I guess they are OK. In keeping with my tradition of trying to do something new with each new build, I used Testors metalizers for the first time on this one. Love 'em now. Can't believe I never used them before.

Otherwise, pretty much right out of the old AMT box, with the always excellent Indycals.

Scott my friend, you are your own harshest critic. Remember when I first commented on your Quaker State March? I thought that came out great but you knew where the flaws were.
Same here. I think this build is to be envied. That engine/gearbox detail is really nice. And the paint lines all came out great.

Can't wait to see your skills displayed with Calvin's resin kits.

I'd have agree with Greg, it looks really good to me, and this kit is full of challenges. Nice job Scott.

Looks good, its a tough kit and you solved a lot of its problems. I prolly wont get around to mine until I get the 83 and 84 Marches done.

Hope I can do half as good a job, when I finally get around to this kit. Nice job Scott.

Thanks, guys. It's funny, some things look better in the photos than they do in person, others look better in person. I did realize looking at it again I meant to put a radio antenna on there. Hopefully tonight.

I think I mentioned in Calvin's thread I tried three different cowlings before I got one that sat halfway decent. It actually fit pretty good in the dry runs, then not so much after painting. It took some strategic sanding and scraping, and adding a thin bit of styrene to the nose, to get it to look OK.
