PAU Extra 330SC mod/refurb
I think the the Extra 330SC is probably one of the prettiest planes out there. Definitely one of my favorites. Unfortunately some of the offerings are not too scale with jumbo canopies (I know, knife edge bla bra) and modified lines.
I think the Krill is probably the best looking 330 available but with a daughter into hay eating creatures its not exactly something I should buy. So along came this PAU Extra in need of some TLC. My original plan was to completely strip it and cover it in the Blue/orange Gulf oil racing scheme. I still may but for now I did a little mod to the covering and shortened the canopy by about 3" to produce a much more scale appearance. Has a DLE 111. |

I didn’t take pics. I’m horrible about showing my work.
Basically I removed the canopy and slid it back until it looked right. I had some 3 views to reference as well. Fortunately on this one I didn’t have to build up any void left in front of the canopy. I did this same mod to two other Extras previously and had to build up to the front of the canopy. After it was positioned I used some pieces of covering to clean it up temporarily to see how it would look. Then marked and cut! I used covering and trim sheets to finish. Here’s another I did. https://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/...d.php?t=235294 |
