Seaknight & M16, red : primary seaplanes

[ericr]

All those submarine launched aircraft all seemed to have something odd about them, the Peto having its upper wing flush with the top of the fuselage and the MB411 having its under-mounted fin. I think one of the others had the wings at different heights!

you mean the Arado Ar 231 I guess : a stunning frontview indeed
I did it in red

Oh yes ericr, that's EXACTLY the one I meant.

Very weird it looks too. Did they launch it off a sub eventually?

I am very interested... I knew this one but I had forgotten it. And I would like to show it now in my site about asymmetric aircraft, but I refuse to feature Nazi colours there (for which I may be sent to jail), and I would prefer a bright red version: do you have a photograph of your one (maybe front view, showing perfectly the asymmetric wing)? If you don't, no problem, I could search for a front view on a 3-view line drawing without military colours.

Thanks for posting the Arado pics, I wasn't aware of her before, or at least the wing configuration anyway

here's the red one (Pavla 1/72) :

Wonderful! Thanks a lot!

I'm amazed even Pavla did a kit of such an obscure aircraft. 

I don't think the Parnall Peto has ever been kitted, anyone know?

there's even a 1/48 one (which I don't have) (yet?)



and another one by Special Hobby (the V2)

You learn something new every day, thanks ericr.

As for the scratchbuilt Peto, that's EXCELLENT!

Nice work. Love the small scale stuff. Those would look great in a photo spilling out of a mock bag of Skittles or suitable fruit flavoured candy !

Mike West (Lone Star Models) is currently scratchbuilding a waterline 1/48 USN S-1 sub just as a display base
for the Martin MS-1/Cox-Klemin XS kit is he is close to producing.

the japanese i400 and its Seirans is another example, but the smaller Glen was also submarine-carried

I love your blue/red camo with bright yellow wings: like every camo, this is for the plane not to be seen at all with the landscape in the background... and this is just perfect in a toy store with Mickey Mouse and other puppets...

sometimes the camouflage is not meant to hide : like the zebra for example! 
it is rather making it difficult to recognize the shape.
Like in dazzle ships camouflage : some beautiful patterns there

That waterline sub hull looks just the ticket ! What a great way to display an aero as well.
