Aurora Cessna 310
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2025 6:29 pmThis is a 1963 issue of the Cessna 310. The instructions say it is 1/69 but other sources have it around the 1/63 mark.
The model is basic with no landing gear or interior with only 23 parts
The decals are toast so I will build it as a local (Aussie) aircraft. I found a very basic scheme that was based in Canberra in the early 2000s. It now belongs to HARS but was last seen at the Goulburn aerodrome.
I started by filling the engraved paint scheme and rego lines
And decided to make a cockpit for it. The seats are the observers seats from the Mach2 Falcon 20 kit, I will make up another 2 similar seats and an instrument panel.
The cockpit is now done, I am not going crazy here, just enough to make it look like something is there. The back seat and Instrument panel are now done
Couldn't resist a see how it will look with main assemblies together (temporarily)
Which now leads the way to start painting, I found a picture of an early interior of the 60s, and boy they liked their browns.
Stay tuned for more....
