Tweener Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Here's an A-12 cockpit shot, I'm thinking the Y1A-8 would be similar... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
