1/48 Williams Models Pitcairn Autogiro PCA 1

My eyes fell on this rather exotic machine while watching the movie "Rocketeer", Howard Hughes pilots ths autogiro to a burning Zeppelin and saves the two heroes. I was very pleased that Williams Models released this 1/48th scale model of the Pitcairn Autogiro PCA 1 rather than releasing the 99th replica of a Messerschmidt.

Next to the excellent kit I used Eduard photoetched parts, pieces of spare decals to make the cockpit look busy and added extra details from scratch like cables and other smaller pieces.

In my book that's a 10

Admirable on all accounts and a perfect job on the wire-bracing.

Simply Wonderful!!!

Hi Bernhard:

I was looking an old issue of Aeroplane Monthly to admire this nice machine, but really yours is so perfect and looks nicer and with a lot of more life than the one depicted flying there!!!  Thanks for sharing this one with us.

Cheers,
