Northrop BT-1By Walter A. O8vPhr6VX JacqueIt seems that, according to kit manufacturers, our nation's Navy went u7rvxw8UD from biplanes to Vindicators and Devastators, which just ain't so. We went to 0Y83ZDZVE the groundbreaking Northrop BT-1, subject of Steve Ginter's book.The book is a DYlnfQW8H lot like the late lamented "Detail Scale" in that we have lots of shots of the ivQLoy4Wc aircraft in service, as well as detail shots for modeling purposes. We also have DRXim3uAJ five side view drawings as well as one overhead drawing, one side view as well as the overhead (along with two color paintings in the back of the book) supplied by Polish kit manufacturer Valom. The detail photos are nice and well worth the price of the book, but I think we could do with more scale drawings as some of us would like to convert existing 1/48 scale kits into the BT-1.Near the end of the book we are told about the aircraft's cameo appearance in the Warner Bros. film "Dive Bomber." Three still from the movie here (along with one of Errol Flynn before he hangs a plaque on the side of the cockpit). Diorama potential here.Rounding out the book are two kit reviews, both in 1/72. One is the Valom kit, the other is a vacuum form kit by Esoteric.All in all, highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy DaveAnother fine book on a rear subject. Ginter's books are a modelers dream.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy William Hazlettgood book The Northrop BT was a two seat, single engine, monoplane, dive bomber built by the Northrop Corporation for the United States Navy. At the time Northrop was a subsidiary of the Douglas Aircraft Company.The design of the initial version began in 1935. A 700 hp (522 kW) Pratt and Whitney XR-1535-66 Twin Wasp Jr. double row, radial air-cooled engine powered the aircraft. The aircraft had slotted flaps and a landing gear that partially retracted.The next iteration of the BT, designated the XBT-1 wa ....

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.

Looking back at those PRODUCTS twelve months, it was a very productive year for Squadron with many exciting things happening. In 2016, we took on various new lines like Takom, MiniArt, Yahu, and Abteilung 502 to name a few. We are happy to announce this month that Bronco (found on pages 26-27) is now part of our offerings as well as an expanded selection from Minicraft (pg 7). We plan to have at least one new line every month in 2017. Our biggest announcement yet is the launch of our first major kit that will be available in the next coming weeks, the HAUNEBU II German flying saucer! The release of the Haunebu kit will be an exciting event that will reveal a darker saga in the history of spacecraft with all the elements of WW2... occultism, inter- planetary technology, secrecy and mystique combined in one. No matter if you are an aircraft, armor or ship modeler, this piece will spark your imagination and curiosity!

Squadron just returned from the IPMS National Show Chattanooga, TN. As usual, the creative genius of modelers from all over the country was truly amazing to behold. We also just hosted Eagle Quest 28 in June and I had the opportunity to “meet and greet” with a bunch of great people. The show was, once again, a huge success and constantly growing. Would love to see more of you here at Squadron next year! As we simmer through the end of summer, we are excited to bring you a number of new things in this flyer. First of all, you won’t want to miss the debut of our expanded accessories line – Squadron Dioramix – featured on the back cover. These highly detailed accessories for dioramas and models are the pure magic of Jef Verswyvel. Sculpted by hand and produced here in Carrollton, you will not be sorry to add these to your projects.

SBD Dauntless
SBD Dauntless A-24 Banshee Type Dive bomber Manufacturer Douglas Maiden flight 1 May 1940 Introduced 1940 Retired 1949? Primary users United States Navy U.S. Army Air Force Fleet Air Arm Free French Air Force Number built 5,936 Developed from Northrop BT SBD-5 Design and development The Northrop BT-1 provided the basis for the SBD, which began manufacture in 1940. It was designed by designers team lead by Ed Heinemann with a 1,000 horsepower Wright Cyclone powerplant. A year earlier, both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps had placed orders for the new dive bombers, aptly designated the SBD-1 and SBD-2 (the latter had increased fuel capacity and different armament). The former went to the Marine Corps in late 1940, and the latter went to the Navy in early 1941. 1 The next version, designated SBD-3, began manufacture in early 1941. It provided increased protection, self-sealing fuel tanks, and four machine guns. The SBD-4 provided a 12-volt (from 6) electrical system, and a few were converted onto SBD-4P reconnaissance platforms. The next (and most produced) variant, the SBD-5, was primarily produced at the Douglas plant at Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was equipped with a 1,200 hp (895 kW) engine and increased ammunition. Over 2,400 were built, and a few were shipped to the Royal Navy for evaluation. In addition to American service, the type saw combat against the Japanese with No. 25 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force which soon replaced them with F4U Corsairs, and against the Germans with the Free French Air Force.

The Northrop Beta
Yesterday's Wings The Northrop Beta The first Northrop Beta, showing the high thrust line of the Menasco Buccaneer engine, the new spatted landing gear and the widely .v- spaced cockpits. 1 C/ose·up of the Beta during a demonstration. That's Jack Northrop at the far wingtip. 64 One of the raciest looking airplanes ever developed for general aviation by PETER M. BOWERS / AOPA 54408 was the little two-seat Northrop Beta. Pilots who saw it in the early 1930's marveled at its performance on rela• tively low power, the result of careful streamlining. It looked as though it was going 100 mph just sitting there. A point not fully appreciated at the time was the innovative structure. General aviation wasn't quite ready for it yet, but the construction of the Beta and contemporary Northrop models was to have a far-reaching effect on the industry even though those par• ticular airplanes quickly vanished from the scene. The Beta was the product of a very small firm, Northrop Aircraft Corp. of Burbank, Calif. This was founded in 1928 by John K. Northrop, a noted aeronautical engineer whose most re• cent success had been the design of the revolutionary Lockheed Vega in 1927. Northrop was ahead of his time in many ways, principally in advo• cating all-sheet-aluminum structures when steel-tube fuselages and wood• frame wings were the industry stan• dard. The first product of the new firm was a purely experimental model that combined Northrop's structural con• cepts with some of his other ideas rela• tive to drag reduction.
