As you can see, it is perfectly possible to take a "normal" manufacturers' model and make of it something different. Scores of kits can be turned -with very little effort- into civil machines, something that unfortunately few manufacturers dare to do themselves (issuing civil decals or catering for civil versions). I wish the civil options would deserve at least equal attention than their military counterparts. Since these civil planes are not only generally very colorful (especially compared to their usually drab, boring counterparts) but as important; and furthermore, with a different intentionality. I offer here this "common ground" example, a plane that although wore civil registrations was actually intended as a sales demonstrator, hoping the bonga-bonga modeling masses will give it a try. It surely deserves it. AND you will feel better, and your family -especially your children- too.
Gabriel - another pretty model. Was the colour scheme Boeings idea or did they copy the style from the Army pursuits? - Mr Rareplanes
ReplyDeleteDear Gordon:
ReplyDeleteOne of the sources states that the scheme geometry was inspired on those of the 34th squadron for this particular exports demonstrator, but neither the colors nor the details were the same.
