| Re: Four Costal Command Birds I'm diggin' that Whitley Epapazian. Is that a kit you built? I have the Corgi 1/144 CC Fortress and 1/72 CC Lib that goes nicely with those in your pic. Also have the Atlas 1/144 Coastal Command Hudson that isn't bad. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Four Costal Command Birds
The Whitley and the Hudson are special solid resin castings I had made a dozen years ago. Both have their canopies, windows, etc painted a glossy midnight blue to create the illusion of depth---it usually works. The Whitley was particularly challenging since I had to fabricate those radar-like antennas you see all over the plane out of aluminum tubing punctured by small holes for the horizontal rods. That took about 5-6 hours to get more or less right. Wouldn't it be great if Corgi did either one of these planes in diecast, or, better still----both of them? | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Four Costal Command Birds
Absolutely would be, and there's several livery and Mk. options for both so they're viable ideas. | ||||||||||||||
