Boeing 247

Not an airliner in this circumstance but used by Chevron Oil for resupply of prospecting, drilling and production crews in their Canadian operations.

Looking at this picture reminds me what a rubbish background I have, but having posted it, I'll leave it here until I take a couple of more decent ones.

Very nice indeed Ed and thanks for sending me a photo of her last night. Can I have your permission to upload her to the Gallery??, (once it's functioning properly).
She would look great on the A/CAM display table at Expo this year .
Even "back in the day" Boeing built a hell of an aeroplane. There is a little bit of 247 DNA in every modern Boeing airliner flying today.
The Williams Bros kit is a nice little build.

I'll take some better photos for the gallery, and yes, I'll bring it along to Expo.

Yes I quite like the WB kit - straightforward kit of a straightforward aircraft soon swamped by DC-3 mania.
I have done one other and have one to do - a Lufthansa one but that means new engines which I can't borrow from anywhere.

These guys didn't quite get it right

I suspect they do a range of 247's with only the colours changed whereas in reality they were quite a heterogeneous lot.

Edit - Any help with the Lufthansa one most appreciated.... more pictures, colour scheme etc

Lovely model, I had the pleasure many years ago of looking over an old 247 at Boeing Field Seattle. I would love a model of this type.
