  • Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be but please find attached a computer tidied picture of one I made (a lot!) earlier, as Barry Bucknell used to say. I am guessing that much of your British readership is of a vintage to remember the gentleman. As I recall the flight pattern of this model was in the duck and cover class, definitely an adrenalin generating experience, but there again I would hope my trimming has improved a bit since I built this so it may have been more my lack of trimming experience than the model. Certainly it gave a lot of pleasure to my simple young mind. Regards to all, lets hope we get a chance to meet up some time this year. From Graham Crawshaw Flying Aces Sportster.

There are, however, several structural differences which make it most interesting from an engineering point of view. As with the "Mai1p1ane, it is a two-bay biplano with two engines mounted highup between the wings direct- ly above the widely spread wheels of the landing gear. The engines, which are two Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar VIA's,-.-are mounted on built-up dura.lumin ring-type mount- ings slung from the under side' of the top wings by st.eel tubes and built-up girders, and cowled with Townend ring- form cowlings. These mountings coincide with the inner interplane struts and the points at which each separate half of the landing gear is attached beneath the lower wings (figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4). The sketches (fig. 5) explain the construction of the landing gear, and from the photographs it can be seen how neatly each half is faired in. The Dunlop wheels, which have Dunlop brakes, are carried between oleo-pneumatic shock-absorbing legs. The fairings are detachable and are fabric-covered structures of spruce, light stringers being bent around formers to carry the fabric. This system of building up fairings has been used for a number of other places on the airplane, notably under and above the fuse- lage, between the wings, and around the nose of the fuse- lage, their detachability being a useful feature.

This specification called for a two-seat all-metal land-plane with one or more engines, to have a mail capac- ity of 1,000 pounds, and range of 1,000 miles at a cruis- ing speed of at least 150 miles per hour in still air. The P.64 is a two-engine tractor biplane which has been designed to give the specified normal speed with each engine throttled- down to approximately half its output. Under these conditions the engines should have an exceed- ingly long life and a singular freedom from breakdown. Should one engine fail the P.64 will still be capable of flying level at 4,000 feet at 85 miles per hour, With the remaining engine throttled- to 1,950 r.p.m. This should give the nearest approach to absolute immunity from forced landing owing to engine failure that is at present available. SPECIAL FEATURES Boulton and Paul, , Ltd., have specialized on two-engine airplanes over a considerable period, and with this type they have achiOve,d success.
