Right now, apart from a pair of metal seats (which are available, just mega $$$) all I can really think of that I need is a metal rudder trim tab and the little square inspection panels for the tailcone (the joggled ones). The BT is kinda a lady in waiting for the moment until the N2S gets finished but the pile of pieces is steadily getting bigger. I really, really wanted a set of those funny little A model gascaps as it's going to be a totally stock, original paint scheme restoration when it's done, and it took five years but I finally got them - one right here via Wix.

You guys looking for anything?

Oh ya, almost forgot: 81.2 TT on the airframe. :D

Any idea where the ground picture was taken? Look at all those AT-9s. Must be the factory, but which one?

I think they were built at the main plant in buffalo early in the war.

The location was Louisville... no C-76s were built here in Buffalo.

I believe that something like 25 of these were constructed before the program was canceled... all were built in Louisville and St. Louis if I remember correctly.

Here's a few more shots of the Caravan...
