Pulp Planes

[Smokeyrone]

My new volunteer status with an emergency/disaster relief aviation company has given me opportunities to get some up close and personal pics of various planes that might interest the pulp crowd.

Sorry, no Tri-motors  , but several WWII vintage C-47's, a "Short Southernland,  ?" British pre war flying boat, a Bloom and Voss WWII era flying boat (German, and way cool, though it has some sort of "Palm Beach" style paint job of mauve, light azale and olive green), several wrecked (badly) flying boats, all of 1920-30's vintage, it looks), and they say a Catalina comes in frequently, but it is painted bright red.   

If you need close ups of these and others (no fighters or bombers, mostly cargo/passeneger planes) let me know.  Cool pics today, of a C-47 without the engiones or tail.  (good reference if you are making a model that is wrecked with an engine torn off?)

Anyhoo, let me know.

I love them too!

Otay, I am back at the hanger in the morning, will get up close and take pics of them (there is a flying boat airline or something right next door.  They have four flying ones (that old British and German plane included), and three wrecked ones)

Brian, you ever build that V-2?  how'd it come out?

BTW, I lost your number.  Please PM it to me, as you were always on my "Fun calls to make list"   


Heres my only saved c-47 pic, now:

I have some close ups of one engine removed, the radar under the nose (probably not interesting to pulp guys), a wing off, the tail off (very cool) and Smokey in the cockpit, flashing the "U" out the window.

no worries, B. 


And thanks, Bezzo   

Yes that's an archived photo.  It's from their ("our") website.

It has a history and pic of our planes ('cept of course the Saabs, as they are on loan )

 I am heading back right now.  Will get plenty of up close of the flying boats, and put my  C-47 pics on photbucket with them. (my daughter knows how to download pics straight to the puter, I don't, so she does my hi tech work, less someone wants to tell me how to download photos frm a camera phone ?)




 If I see the Catalina, I'll be all over it with pics for y'all.  (How cool are they?)  I remember them being somewhat common in West Palm Beach and the keys as a child.  Former Coast Guard and fire department S&R surplus, that civilians enjoyed flying to the bahamas in.

either You have a cable or wireless option
wireless wotks almost automatically, You just have to open the channel and search for receivers
with a cable-just plug it in, provided there is the correct software installed on the puter (which is usually packed with the mobilephone)

it is easier than dismantling a gun

The following planes are also immensely pulp:

Do-335
Ho-229 Flying Wing
Boeing P-12 Peashooter
BV-141

Any modeling review site (Modeling Madness or Hyperscale come readily to mind; I tend to find the folks at Modeling Madness a lot friendlier) as well as Wing Palette will give you tons of cool planes, kits, reviews and interesting camouflage options.

I think the British plane you're refering to is the 'short Sunderland'.
