airfix belevedere

Haven't seen one of those in years. If you can get hold of another one, a display showing the tactical and non-tactical colour schemes would look really good. The non-tactical scheme was light aircraft grey (or maybe natural metal) with a white fuselage top and a blue cheat-line. Be aware that there were variations during the production run. Some aircraft had vertical fins at the tips of the tailplane.

i'm trying to get a couple of more andthat's a great idea. thanks.

I think it's a reproduction of a pre-production airframe. Somewhere in my files there's a magazine with a conversion article which produces a service machine. I'll try looking for it tonight.

This rings a bell. Wasn't it the Bristol 192?

I once went out with a chick who had 2 large bristols!

Yes, and that's partly why I briefly had trouble finding the article. I kept looking under 'B'. The article's title is "Westland Belvedere". It's in SAM, Vol.5, No.1, Oct. 1982 and is 7 pages long including drawings.

Anything less wouldn't have looked balanced. ;)
