Beech Model 17 'Staggerwing' Pictures / Profiles

Armchair Ace · Apr 22, 2010

I have been making liveries for the X-Plane model of the Staggerwing, but I can't find any pictures of Staggerwings that are in military service, or are being used outside of the U.S.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Hard to come by I think...I've been trying to track down pics of the RNZAF impressed Staggerwing....
I do have a 3-view drawing and a walkaround photo shoot if that's of any use to you.

Here's a RAAF Staggerwing. From Welcome to ADF Serials

Armchair Ace · Apr 22, 2010

To A4K : I'd love to see the 3-view of the RNZAF Staggerwing!

To Wildcat : Thanks!

A4K · Apr 23, 2010

The 3-view's not of the RNZAF scheme unfortunately - just a B/W line drawing. Drop us your address in a PM if you're interested though.

To be honest, I don't know how the RNZAF's sole example (NZ573) looked in service, the only photo I've found so far was taken after one of two very bad crashes...

Andy...great pic!

Armchair Ace · Apr 23, 2010

Oh. I've got a few (rather nice) 3-views already. Thanks for offering, though.

A4K · Apr 23, 2010

No worries mate!

I've got an old IPMS journal with a few pages on the military Staggerwings. Send me a PM with your address and I'll get it to you.

Hi Tom -- I know this Staggerwing doesn't meet any of your criteria--it's a civilian version in the US--but it's such a gorgeous plane I couldn't resist!

Wildcat · May 3, 2010

Very nice indeed!

A4K · May 3, 2010

With Andy!

Armchair Ace · May 6, 2010

Thanks for the picture!

I have a few shots of Staggerwings, but they are all in civil markings. They are real lookers though.

Here's a couple of shots I took of the Staggerwing at the Air Force Museum. The first is from about 15 years ago and the second is from last Feb.

Nice!

A4K · May 7, 2010

very nice, Glenn!

T Bolt · May 7, 2010

I have 1000+ photos I've taken at the Air Force Museum over the last 25 years during 10 or more visits. Also many taken at the Smithsonian. I probably have at least one picture of 95% of the aircraft at either museum. If anyone needs to see any of them let me know and I'll post them.

hawkeye2an · May 10, 2010

Hope these help.

A4K · May 11, 2010

Very nice, mate!

Cheers too Glenn...may take you up on that for future modelling projetcs!
