Convair

Very nice

Thank you Wlad! Unfortunately the museum is still closed.

Mmmm, I had forgotten about this. I used tiny injection needles to make the machine gun barrels (I sanded out the original FROG protrusions).

My opinion too!

I liked it very much. I want one!

A different 262. Striking painting!

Thank you Adey! Another reason why I chose black is that most Luftwaffe airplanes have a light colour (RLM 65 or 76) on undersurfaces, so black would be a interesting break .

Very beautiful model. The red is gorgeous.

Wow! Very interesting aircraft (and model). Very good!

Once upon a time... it was a long ago (actually, 2012 )... I built a Revell (Frog) He-115...

It's always good to see a Liberator kit. Your model is very nice.

Very good!

Very nice, both! The black and white photo-calibration markings on the SR-177 are charming.

Thank you all gentlemen.

Hi, this is the old Monogram PBY-5A kit modified to be a CA-10 operated by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) as cargo aircraft. This model is exposed at the TAM (today, LATAM) airlines museum, in São Carlos city, São Paulo, Brazil, along with several other models, including real airplanes (1:1). Some in-progress (low quality, sorry) images. Underwing holes filled with bits of plastic: Some interior, and openings for fuselage gun stations covered with plastic sheet. Covered and puttied opening on right fuselage. The left fuselage has a rectangular window (and a cargo door, closed - I scribed the contour only). Openings for nose turret and bombsight window also covered with plastic sheet. And the actual thing: Cheers!

Fantastique!

Colorful and beautiful. Very nice!

A Monty Python sketch, maybe?

Very nice model, congratulations!

Thank you all gentlemen. Seeing the comments, there is no other naval flag with only white and black colors (with the exception of the pirate flag ), but there are flags with only white and blue colors. So, considering that this plane was used by the Navy, IMHO it is virtually certain that the recall Stearman is dark (insignia) blue and white. Exactly. My intention is to build a 1/72 scale Stearman with this painting scheme, so I asked about the correct colors. The first time I "heard" of this recall aircraft was when in the 1990's I saw a picture of a Revell PT-13 1/72 built by a reader of FineScale Modeler magazine, in the "reader gallery" section. Sorry for the quality of the image, it was scanned directly from the magazine using 1990's technology. I could not find references to any other airplane with this paint scheme. Maybe a T-6 Texan or even a BT-13 Valiant?

I agree with you Rabbit Leader. Let's see if more information will appear ...

Hi, please I have a question about the Stearman aircraft used for training (in U.S. Navy) during WWII. Because training airplanes sometimes did not have radios, when a sudden storm or other emergency arose, a "Recall" aircraft was launched. When a cadet saw the Recall airplane flying through the area, he knew he should return to the base immediately. This Recall aircraft was painted in its entirety with dark stripes on a white background. As an example, the image below is from the website "The Aero Experience: Stearman Flight Clinic Provides Opportunity to Share an Aero Experience". It's a restored Stearman, painted with black and white stripes. However, other sources say that in fact the stripes were Insignia blue and White, "according to the old U.S. Navy Recall flag, the origins of which date back to 1777". I searched the Internet, but I did not find this specific "Recall flag". What are the correct colors for the Recall aircraft stripes, blue and white or black and white? And, were there other planes besides the Stearman painted like that? Or just the Stearman? Thanks in advance.

Very nice model!

My kit has that rear fuselage bulge, I didn't remove it. Sorry!

Sensational!
