Aardvark Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi,all! At first all one after another Supermarine Attacker - it is thought for three. Deal Aardvark, Ekventor, Snorry - the short historical background: http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewto...34_start_0.html 1. Official start on December, 1st, 2011, 2. Participants: Aardvark (CMR), Ekventor (AZ), Snorri (FROG-NOVO). Three gates are established: on March, 1st, on June, 1st, on September, 1st - for leading of intermediate results and for stimulation lagging behind. Who will finish to the first gate, to that great glory and a triumpher of honour; who to the second - to that simply great glory; to the third - ordinary glory, to term - thanks and who will not finish - to that a shame and an abuse (except the cases getting under point 10). Forms of a shame and an abuse are defined reached finish. .................................................... 9. Everyone not finished the model to term buys to everyone finished on one model in cost to 35 US dollars on a choice of the finished. So Snorry has chosen FROG-NOVO and will build model of the Pakistan Air Forces, Ekventor has chosen AZ models and will build Royal Navy Supermarine Attacker F.Mk.1 at me CMR, and I too would like to construct Royal Navy Supermarine Attacker F.Mk.1! But I should model, somehow to differ from model Ekventor ???? Therefore I have chosen here such variant of early coloring Royal Navy Supermarine Attacker F.Mk.1 with very interesting division of border of colors in area fin. But to a regret I haven't found authentic variants of coloring where serial number would be visible! Is or serial number, but there is no code and number put on an aircraft carrier, or on the contrary there is a code and number of an aircraft carrier but there is no serial number as in resulted photo J 107!!!! Gentlemen help my with definition of serial number J 107!!!!! Don't allow to become scanty to my budget for 70 dollars!!!!! B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Gentlemen help my with definition of serial number J 107!!!!! The caption to another photo of this aircraft, probably from the same sequence, on page 14 of From The Cockpit 9: Attacker (Graeme Rowan-Thomson, Ad Hoc Publications, 2008) identifies this aircraft as WA484. The serial is not actually visible in the photo but such an identity chimes with Sturtivant's FAA Fixed Wing Aircraft Since 1946, which has this aircraft as 107/J between 23/8/51 and 24/4/52. This colour demarcation appears to have been a feature of early Attackers only: WA486 is the highest-serialled aircraft I can find carrying it.

The Velociweiler Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Convert your model and build one of these. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=handley+p...=1t:429,r:3,s:0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Seahawk, it don't contradict that table that I have made, under the data available for me: (It isn't correctly reflected a little, because I did it in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)) Type Type Serial First flight Last flight Sqn Code Number Data photo Camouflage Carrier_Base Prototype TS409 Prototype TS413 Prototype TS416 F1 WA469 springer 1951 early F1 WA470 703 052 springer 1951 early _Illastrious F1 WA471 early F1 WA472 F1 WA473 J 102 late F1 WA474 F1 WA475 F1 WA476 F1 WA477 02.02.1951 F1 WA478 F1 WA479 F1 WA480 F1 WA481 F1 WA482 F1 WA483 F1 WA484 Early F1 WA485 05.02.1952 Early F1 WA486 01.05.1951 787 cw 105 Early West Raynham F1 WA487 F1 WA488 F1 WA489 F1 WA490 F1 WA491 F1 WA492 800 104 late Ford F1 WA493 800 J 106 01.03.1952 late Eagle F1 WA494 01.06.1952 105 late Ford F1 WA495 F1 WA496 800 J 101 1951 late Eagle F1 WA497 late F1 WA498 800 J 103 .............................e.t.c This colour demarcation appears to have been a feature of early Attackers only: WA486 is the highest-serialled aircraft I can find carrying it. Apparently from a part of the table I know it! Convert your model and build one of these.http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=handley+p...=1t:429,r:3,s:0 Certainly thanks for the offer, but it don't correspond to primary arrangements of our mini Group Builds on scalemodels! Besides I the Ukrainian live in Ukraine as well as PRO RESIN the Ukrainian firm territorially being in Ukraine if this model was interesting to me, I by all means would buy it as soon as it will go on sale! But it isn't interesting to me as I collect models of jet FIGHTERS, and this plane especially experimental, not armed. B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how easy it is to obtain in the Ukraine but, if you have a deep interest in post-war FAA aircraft, I'd recommend you try and get hold of one of the books I quoted, Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft since 1946 by Ray Sturtivant with Mick Burrow and Lee Howard, published by Air Britain in 2004, ISBN 0 85130 283 1. It's 639 pages of dense data which will fill in all those first/last flight dates, allocations to squadrons, side- and tail-codes, accidents, modifications, etc, for any FAA aircraft from 1946 to 2004-ish (plus some data from 1945). Expensive but full of information not readily available anywhere else. No explicit info on camouflage but illustrated with well-chosen photos.
