VG 33 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hello As promised here is my second Northrop Delta. This time this is the Delta 1A of the TWA when used as a mail delivery aircraft. For that reason I did not put either the passenger seats or the window curtains. It could have been a weight saving measure. The main difference with my previous Delta is the engine. The Delta 1C was powered by a 9 cylinder radial Wright Cyclone SR1820 F3 engine. For the Delta 1C it was a 9 cylinder radial Pratt & Whitney Hornet engine. Patrick And now both Deltas compared 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 A beautiful pair of models of a type that I wasn't aware of. Did you use paint or Alclad for the flawless finish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just cut the first parts from the runners of the Gamma 2E. There are many parts in common with the Deltas. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That's a really lovely looking model with a great finish. It's amazing how the Art Deco influence even found its way in to aircraft design. You can almost see the line of chorus girls dancing on the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
