Curtiss Y1A-8 Photos


Tweener

Recommended Posts

Have just began work on the Curtiss Y1A-8, using 2 of the ancient Rareplanes vacform kits. So far, work has been easy enough, though I fear I may have sanded down too far in a few places. 

 

Seeing as the kit includes no interior, decals, or paint schemes, I was hoping perhaps somebody on the forums might know more than I've been able to find. So far, I think I'm going to try to finish the build as one of the Shrikes used in camo trials in the early 30s, with Olive, dark green, and purple upper surfaces, yellow wing bottoms, and blue and white wheel pants.

 

For reference, and to prevent confusion with the A-8 Shrike, here is a photo of one of the Y1A-8s.

 

Note that the B-10 is not on hold- just taking a place on the side until I can clear enough space from the workbench.

On the way!
