Major version was Mk VI aka USAAF UC-64 which had redesigned fuselage to carry more cargo (approx 750 built). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 The earlier Matchbox kit was a bit of a mix of variants, with the earlier fuselage and late sponsons, if I've got that right. There's a lovely booklet on Norwegian Norsemen which goes into the relevant details.

RidgeRunner Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Mmm …. I like the look of this. It could add to my future utility aircraft builds ;). She’d look good with the Beaver and Broussard  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I tried to find the Norwegian book (English language) but must have been really imaginative in where I filed it. It will be needed when I set out on the Matchbox kit. However Putnam's Canadian Aircraft since 1909 has the following: Mks I-III underpowered, not successful Mk.IV with 550hp Wasp more popular and bought by RCAF, six loaned to USAAF as YC-64 Mk.V retained for post war civil use (V for Victory) but basically reworked Mk.VI Mk.VI revised version, deeper fuselage for more fuel, produced in considerable numbers for USAAF as UC-46A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I am looking forward to these kits.  BTW, the book is still available: https://www.europeanairlines.no/product/noorduyn-norseman-mk-iv-mk-vi/ 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbjorn Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I’ve already bought decals for the machine I want to build, so by the 3rd law of modelling I can reveal that one of the options will surely be the Swedish no 78001, an ex-UC-64! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even got a set of Gibbes Sepik Airways decals to go on one of them. Sadly the sheet gives the chequers on the rudder in black; they were actually very dark green, but I have a cunning plan to get around that ...

marvinneko Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) I want a Norseman for my Canadian BCATP series. They were used for experience flights for new wireless operator trainees... although the actual training experience wasn't necessarily productive as there were multiple guys in the plane and only one radio set. Â There are Matchbox versions floating around that I was resigned to buying. Hope to see this new one this year.

Dennis_C Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Yeah. This airplane looks so right with the floats! And also looks very much okay with skis for Alaska or Antarctic users. So maybe I'd just wait a little for such versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Israel also operated the UC-64 / Mk.VI, not the Mk.IV. It would be like sticking Spitfire Mk.IX decals on a Spitfire Mk.V model....
