Redboost Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hello colleagues, on behalf of my club mate from Marabu Design, we are trying to locate accessible information on this bird, preferably W 139H-2, for preparation of etched and probably resin detail sets for 1/72 William Bros kit. What we basically need is good set of scale drawings and photograhps showing the exterior details. Is there anyove more knowledgeable who may point us towards books, publications, mags or websites? Many thanks in advance, Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espeefan Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I might have some old Air Combat, Wings or Airpower magazines with some details. My fuzzy brain seems to remember photos of the NEIAF ones, anyway. I've got hundreds of them so it would take some time to look. If I find them I'll let you know. Marabu Designs do nice work, I have used some of their PE on the Airfix Swordfish and Gladiator. Would like to see something for the basically sound old Williams Brother kit, though I'd prefer for a US one, personally. the Blue and yellow paint made for an attractive aircraft!.

Redboost Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks, that would be very welcome! I believe the etched may be of use also for the US version too, depends on the basic design. Please let me know if you find something useful here or via PM. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaas Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The 139WH-2 had longer nacelles over the wing, and engine cowlings that looked more like those on the B-17. By the way, you can do the Dutch Martin in the same blue and yellow scheme as used by the USAAC. Here's a rough plan I did in an old IPMS/USA Quarterly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thank you Jim, much appreciated! That is exactly what needed to know. Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve N Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I can't really help with info..I know someone who has a lot of detail stuff on the B-10, but he has his own PE/Resin outfit, and has been considering doing a set himself. That said, an aftermarket resin set for the Williams Bros. kit would be most appreciated. The kit has decent basic shapes, but desperately needs replacement engines, props, and exhausts. Of course the interior is largely non-existent as well. SN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroubos Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This artist in The Netherlands has a huge archive with rare photos, mostly Dutch planes. He has loads of pics of the WH2 in ML-KNIL service. I know because I went through them all when I visited him for a commission. If you are specific about what you need he can probably help you out. http://www.thijspostmaaviation.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
