Swedish Air Force 'what ifs'.....

Lucky13 · Jul 2, 2010

Think that I've found somewhat a way to do the 'splinter' on my two birds, the Lightning and the TSR-2....
I don't know if it's 'Gunsmoke' who's done this or not, but here's the link to where the pics comes from: AJ 37 VIGGEN

Quite like it! 8)

That must takes hours and hours to mask, then re-mask, then remove masks! Think I'd go nuts! (OK, I know, I'm already nuts!)

GREAT!

Wayne Little · Jul 3, 2010

Now that is nicely done.....

Lucky13 · Jul 3, 2010

Should be useful on the TSR-2 and Lightning....I hope!

Lucky13 · Jul 3, 2010

Why did I have to come across these..? It's a good thing that I'm not easily lead and know when to say no!

A review on Aeroscale here: AeroScale :: First Look Review: E.E. Canberra PR.9 Upgrades by Rowan Baylis

The 1-6 is from the Pavla website and is 1-3 TSR-2 and 4-6 Canberra with the last being for the PR.9.
The last pics is the cockpit done by Pappy at Britmodeller.....

Nice stuff! It must be a bit gloomy stuck in the nose of that PR9 !!

Better not suffer from claustrophobia.....and there's not even facilities on the flight!

Lucky13 · Jul 10, 2010

You learn something new every day...! I had no idea about this! Need to get one now!

Series production of the Do 215 A-1 began in 1939. The order, intended for the Swedish Air Force, was stopped in August 1939 due to the political situation. The 18 extant aircraft were embargoed and pressed into Luftwaffe service upon the outbreak of World War II.

Never heard of that, pretty interesting.

Lucky13 · Jul 10, 2010

Yup! Interesting it is indeed!

Edit:

Do 215 A-1
Designation of original 18 aircraft built for Swedish Air Force order.
Do 215 B-0
3 aircraft of A-1 version re-equipped for Luftwaffe with FuG 10 and operated for bomber/reconnaissance duties.
Do 215 B-1
Renamed remaining 15 aircraft of A-1 version operated by Luftwaffe.

Was there a huge difference in cockpits between the RN and RAF Buccaneers?
And, what was the reason for the bulged bomb bay?

Airframes · Nov 18, 2010

Not a huge difference - mainly to do with equipment fit for the weapons load, Sea Eagle or Martel, in the rear cockpit, and hardly visible in 1/48th scale.
The bulged bay was mainly additional fuel tankage.

I'm obliged to you young man, thank you frightfully....

ConradBirgersson · Nov 19, 2010

YOU ARE MY HERO,L

Lucky13 · Nov 19, 2010

Tack!
Cheers!

Might change my BI(6) to the USAAF B-57, like the tandem style of the crew! Just need a way around or whatever, to how we got them!

ConradBirgersson · Nov 19, 2010

funderar på att köpa en me 109 och, du vet "försvenska" den.

Thinking off buying a me 109, and you know "swedinize" it.

Lucky13 · Nov 19, 2010

I think you should mate. If I remember correctly, I think we (Sweden) went down to Poland and looked on their PZL.11, Mirage has a good one in 1/48, don't know if you can find it in 1/72 though.
The Dornier Do 215 would be coul as well! 8)

Bara och kora igang! Get cracking!

Lucky13 · Nov 21, 2010

Well, keeping an eye on 4 or 5 Airfix 1/48 F2/F6 Lightnings on ebay right now, would be d*mned if I didn't managed to take one, if not too much silly money that is....!

Lucky13 · Nov 27, 2010

Another one to add to the future fun....just a F2/F6 Lightning and a Buccaneer missing and we're sorted....
