Default Piaggio "Avanti II" and King Air B200 in 3D

Hello everybody,

Years ago, I built scale 3D models of both the Piaggio "Avanti" P180 and the Super King Air B200, for RC use. Both projects failed, due to the labor costs in manufacturing.

Today, with better 3D tools, I'm rebuilding and improving both models, which will be released later this year. If you'd like to follow along with the new versions, the Piaggio article is at http://www.mikejamesmedia.com/p180_09_01.html , and the B200 article is at http://www.mikejamesmedia.com/b200_09_01.html

I have great documentation for both, so these will be highly accurate, and highly detailed. Although these are not RC projects per se, these will be suitable for printing orthographic views, from which RC plans could be made, as well as other kinds of visualization.
