AWFK10 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 It may be more difficult than you think - there are few, if any, parts in common between a DH9 and a Wallace. The Wallace inherited the same wing planform as the DH9a, which was different from the DH9's: DH9: span 42' 4½", wing area 434 ft² DH9a: span 45 ft 11½", wing area 486¾ ft² Wallace: span 46' 5", wing area 488 ft² Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there is no DH9A in 1/48...? I probably have to start from a Wapiti....in 1/72 ! O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1/72, a better start is the Frog Wallace kit (which isn't really a Wallace, but it's Everest flight predecessor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wapiti and Wallace fuselages are very different in shape and dimension and as others have pointed out the Houston Wallace was quite different from the standard military machine.

adlersieg Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi guys, I am building a Westland Wallace from Frog (in fact I am working on a conversion to Mk. II) and found that I have no photos of the dashboard as well as good photos of the cockpit. This is strange because there are many photos of the fuselage from the Hendon Museum and the front cockpit is shrouded in mystery. At the very beginning I was going to use the same dashboard as for Wapiti, then the same as for PV6, now I see that it differs from Hendon Wallace (as I can tell from some photos) So the question is, are there any good pictures of the Westland Wallace cockpit with the dashboard? If so, then I really appreciate it if anyone could share this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is look like a dark green ??? Thanks in advance O. NIVO, as the others have said. I have linked an excerpt from Urban's paint color reference chart that gives an FS595 equivalent, Humbrol mixing formula, and a Tamiya color. If you have access to a color chip chart, you can check it for reference. I think FS 34096 is pretty close, and that color is available from numerous paint lines. I have not seen the Tamiya or Humbrol colors. Perhaps one of our 'tween the wars experten came be of more assistance. I used Modelmaster FS 34096 enamel on my 1/72 Siskin, and it was a good match to the color chip I have. IIRC, I had to add a few drops of grey to the paint out of the bottle, but I built that kit back in 1986, so I'm kinda fuzzy on the formula- the ol' Mk 1a memory banks ain't what they used to be! (Maybe a query in either the WW1 or Interwar forums might be worth a shot?) Mike FS:34096Nivo6*Hu:116 + 6*Hu:117 + 1*Hu:163T:XF-61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlersieg Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Mike, thanks for your info but I am afraid that the question you answered is not longer relevant. Author asked about this more than 10 years ago)) Or maybe it is my fault and I had to create a new topic for my question🤔 Anyway, my question not about the colors, but about the cockpit. are there any pictures of the Westland Wallace cockpit with the dashboard?

JWM Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If you look for drawing those drawings are perhaps OK Some idea on insides you can get from preserved machine https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000542275.html the dashboard of flight over Everest machine is here https://www.wondersofworldaviation.com/everest.html Some differences with regular machine must be there, unfortunatelly... Here you may find the Wapity cockpit https://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/aircraft/past/901-wapiti.html#gsc.tab=0 And piece of Mk II Regards J-W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-21 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Aldersieg. Have you tried the Newark Air Museum ? they found the remains of a Westland Wallace K6035 on RAF Cranwell North airfield in 1961 and it was restored for Hendon RAF Museum. Both Newark and Hendon Museum's and Skysport Engineeering archive's may be able to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
