1/48 Modelcraft Norseman

Here's a few pictures of some Norseman builds I completed a couple of years ago for my friend Bob Cameron, in Whitehorse YK. All models are the Modelcraft kits in 1:48 scale. The skis and pedestals on BTC are scratchbuilt from basswood. The floats on JIN and KAO are from the Hobbycraft 1:48 Otter kit, and the floats on OBO are scratchbuilt from basswood. Bob took the pictures in his back yard, BTC in the winter and the others later that spring when the snow melted and made a puddle.

All the models have a complete scratchbuilt interior with seats, seatbelts, throttle quadrant and engine controls, etc. etc. All are painted with Tamiya acrylics, and the decals are custom made by J-Bot.

CF-JIN

I'll send along a few more later, namely CP and Yukon Southern Lockheed 18's, and a couple of Otters in Trans North and Great Northern titles.
