Duxford's AAM aircraft out in the open ( pictures)

[Paul K]

I did make a start Paul, but not got very far yet. Only done the nose art actually! Probably do some more tomorrow / Monday.

Excellent, Dave. Looking forward to it if you complete it.

By the way, I think John Young's A.I. Superfortress comes with a Hawg Wild paint scheme. I've got it, but never installed it.

Here's how it looks so far:



Fair way to go yet.

Beers in the fridge, or just soft drinks ?

Beer for Al, Neil and Bob had soft drinks.

Ah good - as long as there was beer somewhere around.

[DaveG]

Nearly there.




A few bits still to do, and some details to check, but not far off.

Yikes.. looks like I'll have to drag this out of storage. Lovely job Dave

Not sure if this has USAF lettering on the top & bottom of the wing? I would assume so, but I've not found any pics to confirm. Most pics on line are either taken directly from the side or are just of the nose art.
Of the few that show a bit of the underside of the wing, I can't make out any lettering, although there are definitely stars & bars on the other wing.
Pics of the yellow wingtips are also a bit vague. I can't quite make out how it is at the leading edge.

Dave, I'll have a hunt through my photos over the next few days and see if I can help. She certainly does have USAF on the upper starboard wing, and I think in bigger lettering than you have at present. Cant do much tonight as I'm up at 4 a.m. but I will have a dig through over the next few days - promise. Also...the yellow rectangle on the fuselage at the wing root - I've never noticed that before.

Looking terrific so far !

If you can find anything that would be great Paul, thanks.
The USAF on there at the moment is directly from the paint kit, but can easily be changed if needed.
