Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

"The World According to Cees...?"

Gents,

Why did I start this thread?

I did start this thread to show how I did reconstruct the oldest Taurus on Earth, visible on the crate picture, the high resolution picture I have from the estate of Ed Kazmirski.
It is not believed, read for example this post of Duane Wilson and Evan Pimm,

To show you an other side of the story, some posts of the members of that same team. How capable are they in recognizing a champion plane, the Dalotel of Hanno Prettner, 10 May 2010.
First post, Ustik thinks the plane did have a blue bottom side, so what do we do? As he did before with Taurus pictures, change the picture by photo shopping!

“After playing with the white balance I think these findings (especially the blue) are quite reliable.” (Ustik)


After seeing this post of Ustik I was triggered, could not believe the refrigerator pictures are reliable and as I normal do, double check.

Bottom colors are purple, no doubt!

In post 73 RFJ shows us probably the “example” picture, some other, really blue bottomed duck!

Story continues on the next page, post 77 indeed a complete different plane they did use as an example!

Crate picture?

Only when you design and built model airplanes yourself for a long time you will recognize the differences immediately.
If you don’t? You have to be the friend of any kit cutter or other supplier.

More to come.
