Wow ... that's esoteric Glenn! For anyone else like me who'd never heard of this cute little 'boat before:

Yeah, I found a photo and data in an old William Green book of 'World book of Aircraft' 1954 edition and when making her, found that Flight info and plan......had to make it. Anyhow, once it's finished, then have to work out how to finish it. Oh, the problems one makes for one self!
Anyhow, today we are back with the Y1B-7 bomber of the USAAC with wings, tail and tailplane in place.

Thanks Apophenia for this useful link (and I found near it a very rare in-flight photo of the XC-120 PackPlane) :thumbsup:

And now for something completely different! You must remember this......to refresh your memory, this is the Convair XB-53 that was never built, and do you wonder why?
Glenn

NARSES2

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Cobra

Back with civil 5 of 5, I think....well Stargazer, the cowling is round, meaning the aircraft has a radial engine. Any clues yet?

Glenn

Back with the 'Travel Air' from a WW1 movie made in the 1930;s. As all those movies were in Black and White, no one knows how they were painted so mine is dk red and grey finish, so when I finish the shot it B&W it won't matter what scheme it is.

Stargazer

#520
A Kinner?

As for the U-2 based fighter, perhaps a CL-1400, or another Lancer development? (provided this is still Lockheed, which I'm not sure about). I need to see more...

Glenn

No, sorry the Kinner is the wrong time period, and the U-2 is something else. Today we are on to the Sci-Fi, with the MiG from Joe 90. Cobra, if you want it, send me your name and address on a PM and I'll send it, otherwise it's a trip to the dump.
Glenn

Cobra
