Clark GA-43

Hi All,
Its been a while since I posted but I have been busy with both 1:144 and 1:72 scale kits.
I was just buying some props from Welsh Models for a Bristol Freighter when I came across this and couldn't resist it.
The only real problem was getting the wing / fuselage joint smooth. A fair bit of filling was required and loads of sanding outdoors of course as its a resin kit.

What a fascinating prototype - must have been noisy for the pilot atop the engine.

Definitely underpowered one would imagine!

Great work with the model, very smooth finish.

Lovely model: had this on my build list in my 30s airliner phase but then the kit came out. Hope the kit is a good enough seller to persuade WM to do more.
Power loading was only a little poorer than the contemporary He70 and as Rolls selected one of those as a high performance tested the GA43 was probably no slouch for its time.
