Thanks  :)

Some might think CV-240 a boring airplane.. but I fell in love with them when I was shooting photos at Rickenbacker AFB.. Got to talking with a pilot.

They have a proud history, not unlike the DC-3.. and are still running cargo.

If I get ambitious, I'll make the turbine conversion too..  we all know it as the CV580  8-)

HARS (Historical Aircraft Restoration Society) is working on restoring a Convair 340 in Tucson, Arizona before flying it over to Australia. So, really looking forward to seeing that flying. :)

Rough estimate of hours worth of work in it? Looks very good...

I go in spurts. I'll work on a model every day, several hours per day, for a week or two. Then take a week or two off. I suppose it averages out to an hour or two per day...
