I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND SCALE DOCUMENTATION ON THE 2004 CESSNA 182 TURBO SINCE THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST SCALE PROJECT I REQUIRE THREE VEIWS AND PANEL LINE LOCATION AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE RIVETS AND SCREWS DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM HELP PLEASE THANX BIGROD][8D]

You can try Bob Banka's Scale Model Research...but more than likely, you'll have to go find one and gather the info you need on your own. I did that with my Cessna.

It's pretty tough to get three views. This link will take you to a couple of profiles of the 2004's; just scroll down until you see them. You might call the Cessna Factory. Or get in contact with Puff Daddy (Randy) who is finishing up a super scale 182T for contest work. He would probably discuss scale documentation with you. I believe he is using photos taken by a dealer of 182's.

tHANKS FOR THE INFO i WROTE TO PUFF DADDY AND AM WAITING FOR A REPLY WHAT ABOUT MODIFIEING THE HOSTETTLOR KIT?

[:-]I FOUND YOUR PLANE TO BE VERY INSPIRATIONAL GOOD JOB MAN HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO BUILD AND WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE TOPFLITE KIT OVER THE HOSTETTLLOR PLANS THANX BIGROD

BigRod,
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. There are a couple of decent rez Quicktime movies of the model [link=http://www.reesecreative.com/Site%20folder/Reesetheater.html]HERE[/link].

I know of the big Hostettler plan, but oddly enough, have never seen one. So I really can't compare the two, although, bigger is usually better, at least as far as scale detailing goes. More impressive in the air also.
Probably a lot to scratch with the Hostetler. But I do that anyway. And I'm not sure about accessories for the Hostetler kit, probably easily available, I would assume.
Anyone built one (or seen one??)

Hi Bigrod,

I have a large collection of digital photos of a couple of 2004 C182s. If you like, I can send them to you on a CD-ROM. Also, I have access occasionally to the aircraft, so if you want anything specific, just let me know.

Cheers,
Greg
