twinpin Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 With Airfix re-releasing the Beaver in Autumn 2022. Looking for information on military versions of the type. Colour schemes, available decals etc. Is a Turbo conversion possible. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 @twinpin, There was extensive coverage- drawings, photos, text, construction hints,on the USAF/US Army versions in Replica in Scale magazine, V2 No. 2, Winter, 1974 No coverage of 'foreign' users, though. Magazine long, long OOP. IIRC, Air Enthuisast had an article on the RAF versions. I had two Airfix kits, but sold them several years ago to a couple of fellow modelers who wanted to build one- wish I had kept one of them, but maybe somebody like Dora Wings, Clear Prop, or Valom will grace us with a new-tool, as I'm betting the molds on the Airfix kit are worn, and the transparencies were pretty thick and didn't fit all that well; wish they would do a new-tool, instead, but I guess it's all about bang for the buck/pound these days.

Aeronut Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Search Facebook for the 'Historic Army Aircraft Flight' there is a section of photos of their Beaver AL1 taken in operation and during maintenance. If you are interested I have scans of the Air Publication pages covering the UK exterior colour scheme and (all) markings dated 1964. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-42 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Turbo version is unmistakably a Beaver, but is different almost everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
