Old Man Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Inspiration of a sort: This is a twenty minute promotional film 'about' air travel. To call it a luxury trade would smack of understatement. Worth the time. James 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I've built a few that would fit right in to this excellent category 👍. My o my, where do I start 😀?? Well, here's the Delage D8 by Heller first up, Somebody mention Amelia's planes? I did the Lockheed L10 Electra, although not finished as her's but as theTCA restored plane. I see that @stevej60 has got an Academy F3F lined up. Nice....! Very enjoyable build... And the little Airfix trackside Scammel Scarab, still in production by Dapol products... So cool that I did 2 of 'em, dumped the silly watneys barrels and made a depot scene, all inside a supermarket profiteroles packaging display box. I had to eat the profiteroles first, which is a bit of a Win-win situation 😅 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) This is a Martin YB-10 on its earliest use by the Army Air Corps, flying air mail from Oakland, California to Newark, New Jersey in the spring of 1934, when the Army had taken over after Post Office contracts with private aviation firms were cancelled. It's a Williams Bros. 1/72 kit, with some small alterations (air scoops and exhausts) to represent the initial trials batch. Here's link to full thread, which includes an account of the whole Air Mail fiasco. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019372-martin-yb-10-flying-the-mail-on-route-18-april-1934/ James Edited April 11 by Old Man 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
