Beech Starship 2000

Amodel box art.



Box contents.



Fuselage components - the black marks are in the plastic.



Wings and canards - Note the two styles - straight and swept.



Cabin interior sprue.



Engine parts - Note the feathered props option.



Cockpit and undercarriage parts.



Transparencies and smaller components.



Eight-page instruction sheet - Humbrol paint colours are quoted.



Instructions.



Windows added - and blended in with filler........



..... making a smooth external surface.



Parts for the cockpit and cabin.



Crew seats - and sumptuous leather armchairs for the passengers.



Assembled cabin with one seat in place - none of which will be seen !!



Unpainted cabin and detailed cockpit.



A little whimsey in the cockpit.....



The main wheels wells are boxed in.



Enigine exhausts are in two halves making for a difficult join.....



... so they were replaced by home-made ones cut from the curved parts of the runner.



Cockpit windows masked to apply the black framing.



Home made window decals - not 100% the right shape.

Finished Model

I used the 'feathered' option for the port propeller - the stbd prop is 'normal'.
