AIRCRAFT (2) "COLOURFUL INTERWAR TYPES"

A brief pictorial of a few interwar aeroplanes that the "Elstree Aeronautics" (piece of cheep Chinese plastic) plane, the subject of the Modelling Challenge 2020, might be slightly converted or simply painted to represent (before you visit Specsavers, of course):

An Elstree Aeronautics Biplane lands on the deck of HMS Argos somewhere in the Irish Sea, in 1938.
. Or a Blackburn Shark lands on the deck of HMS Illustrious sometime in the late 1920s. Only
careful photo analysis can tell the difference...... 

A Severesky P35 in American service. A classic "silver wing". It is possible that some of these made
 their way to the Herefordshire VBCW - or that Elstree Aeronautics had the design "in mind"
when producing their own monoplane air superiority fighter. A simple colour
scheme, nonetheless.

The venerable Airfix kit of the Brewster Buffalo. First released in 1972 (retailing at 19p!),
this was not one of Airfix's better efforts. Indeed, working on a modern piece of
cheep Chinese plastic may very well be preferable, and could even produce a
 result somewhat closer to the historic "Buffalo". A classic WW2 RAF camouflage scheme.

The same monoplane in US Navy service - a classic "yellow wing".
The Hereford Automobile Association might be fond of these...

US Army interwar "camouflage scheme"(??) on a Boeing P-26 Peashooter.
With the big radial engine and a minimum of "upper fuselage work", a reasonable
representation of this could be made from your "cheep Chinese plastic" order.
As previously noted, it is very easy to convert it from biplane configuration
to monoplane configuration, and the "bubbletop cockpit canopy" could
be easily cut and/or filed down. The only problem might be the fixed
landing gear (in spats) on the Peashooter........ 

....so you could keep the biplane configuration and go for an early Curtiss Helldiver instead
 (wheels retracting into the fuselage, requiring only to be painted on the model)

or, still with the biplane, one of these colourful Boeing F4Bs...
