Re: Almost Dauntless – 1/72 Northrop BT-1
I think you'll find that the world of Pre-war US Navy filled with colorful aircraft. I have a SB2U-2 Vindicator that will be wearing the black tail from the USS Wasp (CV-7) airwing. The only one I am missing is an aircraft from the USS Ranger. I may have to settle for a 1/700th scale model of carrier backdated to the yellow wing era with a flight deck full of F3Fs and SB2Us.novokits wrote:You are right Chuck, BT-1 will finished like VB-5 machine.
I continue to work with paints and airbrush. Keep hope that construction completely finished on March 2. I had some problem with the use of Mr. Masking SOL, I'll should use a fine brush to correct color lines.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!
Re: Almost Dauntless – 1/72 Northrop BT-1
Of course - USN aircraft between WWI and WWII is very colorful and nicely view. I have a lot kits of this period))
So, now i finished BT-1 kit, first "yellow wings" in my collection of carrier-borne aircrafts.
