Stout Pullman by Contour Creative

Her is one more in the interesting series of 1920's airliners, designed by Terry and Rosie at Contour Creative in New Zealand. These are all in 1:48 scale, and are of curious subjects. The design is almost sculptural in its effects, and the attention to detail and fit is very high.



This is the latest, the Stout 2AT Pullman, forerunner of the Ford Trimotor. It flew in the years 1924 - 1928. The arched windows, the open cockpit, and the all metal corrugated steel construction are distinctive.



The model proceeds with laminated construction around a box core - the result is a sturdy, almost uncrushable fuselage, and a smooth and undented surface. The amount of internal skeleton, on even the tail surfaces, makes it heavier and more sculptural than the average paper model.
