Thaipaperwork XP-59 Airacomet Repaints

[3Turner]

As the title says....I am happy to present two separate repaints of Nobi's XP-59 Airacomet:D.

The first one is a repaint of the Airacomet as a drone and also includes a bare metal version colored and uncolored. Here are some photos of the Reluctant Robot.

The photo I found showing the nose art


My take on the shot above...sans the tarmac


Other photos of the repaint.

In the last shot, you can see a close up of the Nose art that I drew, scanned in and colored in Photoshop during the repaint.

And of course....you can get it at Chris' shop here:1/32 Bell XP-59 Airacomet Reluctant Robot and Bare Metal

The second repaint set is of the XP-59's which were given to the Navy to conduct aircraft carrier trials under the Airacomet's re-designation of YF2L-1 at the NATC. Of course it failed miserably and I read somewhere looking for repaint ideas that the Navy kept them and repainted them some years afterwards to these liveries....a dark sea blue with yellow tail and wing surfaces and a bare metal version.

I don't have these built up yet, but here is the cover sheet.


Last but not least, the link to buy at Ecardmodels :D
