Lockheed Hudson US Coast Gurads

[Bungled]

Another little one I forgot to post.

 

This is the Italeri Hudson kit which I intended to make OOB Coastal Command. Then I noticed the blanking plate and solid nose options (for something planned in the future by Italeri ?)

 

Any way I put them to good use with the decals from a Cosat Guard Blackhawk.....

More an option planned for by MPM and left in the package sold to Italeri - it is used in the Lodestar kit.

 

Nicely done kit - is it real or Whif?

It's a Whif (modern day Coast Guard decals)

 

As for the MPM Lodestar I believe I've got one in the stash..... somewhere...... among 700 collecting dust. Ho hum.

Thoroughly plausible.  Bearing in mind the successful use of the Hudson and Ventura as maritime patrol aircraft, it is perhaps surprising that USCG didn't actually use them.

Very nice build and very convincing !
