Very cool. I've always loved the Hall. I can't wait to see the growth variants of it!

Cheers,

Logan

Nice. Good choice.

Love the Carp! The Allison-powered variants look the business but the cockpit glazings on the radial-engined one are great :)

Another unusual aircraft I have always liked - the Hall Aluminum PTBH-2 (could have been an American He 115, if we had needed such a thing). Was quite useful to the Farallonians, though.... maybe there will be some variants...

Radar...... torpedo...... seaplane cruiser......

Missed a bunch while traveling.
Shrike and Capellis have so much "character".
However you come up with these,,, well don't forget how :)

Acree · « **Reply #230 on:** November 17, 2012, 01:59:52 PM »

Some variations on the PTBH-2 theme (as promised)....

Ahhh, lovely.

Cheers,

Yes, nice civilian ones

Great profiles

Thanks, guys!
Here are a couple of variations on the Boeing 247 theme:

arc3371 · « **Reply #235 on:** November 18, 2012, 06:02:52 AM »

What engines are those? Nice profiles as usual

apophenia · « **Reply #236 on:** November 18, 2012, 07:27:33 AM »

They are indeed! Engines look like Curtiss Conquerors (V-1570) in Shrike cowlings.

Love the Halls too

Acree · « **Reply #237 on:** November 18, 2012, 07:59:41 AM »

They are indeed V-1570 Conquerors in A-8 Shrike cowlings. Thanks!

I think the Conqueror changed the look of the 247, but the trimotor treatment turned in into a totally different airplane.

The Monomail and XPTBH derivatives are incredible!!!

Acree · « **Reply #239 on:** November 21, 2012, 12:42:36 PM »

Thanks, EH!

Here is the Vought-Sikorsky SO2U Spearfish in Farallonian service. The real-world SO2U was rejected for production by the US Navy in favor of the Curtiss SO3C, even though Vought was judged the better aircraft. Lack of production capacity at Vought was the given reason. What if the production had been licensed out to Capstan in Farralonia? Here is the result:

Acree · « **Reply #240 on:** November 21, 2012, 02:54:43 PM »

Two more unusual variants of the Spearfish - the Jet Spearfish used the capacious rear fuselage of the standard Spearfish to house a jet engine, whilst the AEW Sperarfish was a shipborne airborne early warning platform.

I love the Jet Spearfish but then again prop to jet conversions are a bit of a fetish for me

Tophe · « **Reply #242 on:** November 22, 2012, 03:42:09 AM »

Pleasant family!

Acree · « **Reply #243 on:** November 23, 2012, 02:19:12 PM »

Thanks, Tophe and Arc,

Here is the Stearman-Northrop (or just Northrop) Beta in Farralonian service...

Daryl J. · « **Reply #244 on:** November 23, 2012, 04:36:00 PM »

Beta 3D :) :) :)

The betas look great any chance for them to be smuggled to Spain?

Daryl J. · « **Reply #247 on:** November 24, 2012, 03:17:39 AM »

Boris Zaharoff could see to that.

Certainly! Any particular model you think would be useful to the Republicans? I don't think they were inthe mood for an aerial demonstration team!

arc3371 · « **Reply #249 on:** November 24, 2012, 06:18:46 AM »

They bought Bellanca 28-90 as a fast bomber so how about one of the two seaters as fast light bombers?
