Trimotors of all eras

Ah yes those are the ones.

I had actually fogotten about the 2 German aircraft.

The Wellington is a Mk.1 so its a Pegasus powered tri-motor, who needs Hercules??

What gets me is how much like a Savoia-Marchetti SM.82 it looks.

Well it got me to head on over to online purveyor sites and look at Wellington kits.....
That's good stuff, Greg.

Another that might work with three is the P-61 Black Widow, although the SCR-720 radar is a bit fat to live near the wingtips.

stick the third engine at the back between the booms a'la Cessna 337 !

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Good idea.

I hinted at that in one of my posts...

S.M. 79 and backdate it significantly say to about 1920-25 or so. Open cockpit, flying surfaces very rectangular in planform, spatted fixed gear, and such.

I remember that Greg did a Tri-motor Wellington and a Dakota (Maybe!??)

Hump Buster C-47 with extra power:

OGL (Martin H) did it in plastic, it appears in quite a few of the show pics from UK this year.

Still think OGL should repaint his 'Trikota' in Luftwaffe markings to see if he can pass it off as a Ju 352!
