Flyboyf18 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Here is the start of the project got the interior painted, gendarmerie blue???? this is my best guess!!! From what research I have done online, thanks to the chaps @ BM, it seems this bird, bought or given to the RAF was painted in it's grn/brn/yell cam in Canada prior to shipment to England. So this kit will be in that scheme with it's RCAF srno 7655. It had an early radar set installed in it over here and was used in Britain to trial radar!! Also working on a Boeing U.D. and Bird of Prey, just in case I get this done before the shows over!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Working on another project when I actually read the instructions & WOW, discovered it was a Boeing product!!!!! Building a Belcher Bits Bomarc A. It was developed by Boeing (Bo) & The Michigan Aerospace Research Corporation (marc) for the name Bomarc!? Mostly assembled and some primer the check the wing & tail joints as they are butt joins; It's gonna be in the black scheme; the wings were black with white tips (ailerons?) and reversed underneath. Still working on the Boeing UD, T-43, & 247, will get some pics later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That looks great (as do the other photos!). I was really hoping someone would come up with an atypical, unexpected entry, and you did! :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
