Looking for good informations about EC-121.


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody.
I'm planning to make an Warning Star (Plus Model and Add-on) but the more I'm looking for informations, the more I have new questions.

First of all, Is there somewhere in the world a good blueprint of this beauty ?
I will make the famous 137890 as she served with the PMTC, and even for the windows, I'm not sure of the position.

The other question is how the doors opened on this aircraft, no picture to help me to open them...

 

Thanks for your help and excuse-me for my poor english.

I want to do this plane.

I am not sure if your particular aircraft of interest is in this book but you can read this volume on the EC-121 for free here.

I hope this of use. I have ambitions to build an EC-121 in 1/144 scale in the future. The all grey ones look like an imposing aircraft.

Try to find an original copy of the Ginter book. The photo you posted is the cover shot for his book.

Check carefully, there are print on demand books out there with all the photos in black & white. You want an original with the color pics.

In general, it is worth mentioning that it is very important for a pilot to follow the correct schedule in order to provide quality services. To do this, I recently read some useful articles on time management, its basic principles and how to educate it at https://artscolumbia.org/free-essays/time-management/ Useful information that I advise everyone to read.

Thanks for the advice.
