AIRSPEED ENVOY MK3 1st look.
Posted: 14 Jan 2018, 16:06
Hot on the heels of my well-received Envoy MK2 , I've been busy on the next build -the AS6J MK3 version. Here's a first look at a WIP shot.
This version was fitted with more powerful 310 h.p. Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah IX engines in rather fetching blister cowls ( an 'interesting' build and even more so to paint ! Peter Watkins take note .)
One example registered G-AEXX was supplied for the Kings Flight (1937). 5 more were ordered by the military in 1939. This particular example P5529 was used by the Fleet Air Arm as a land based communications aircraft.
So far I've nearly finished the exterior, so it's on next to the V.C. As usual for me this is a FS2004/FSX model.
Cheers
