Thank you to Aeroclassic for the latest group of F-27 models. If you have been collecting Aeroclassic models for a long time you may remember their previous two F-27s, two DC-3s and two DC-9s. Being a fleet collector, I welcome this model to the collection.
There is only one image of this aircraft it is later (faded) Air West colors: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Air-West/Fairchild-F-27A/1713050/L/&sid=03a6aada84872343098a44120e3747b4
The aircraft was delivered to Bonanza May 1, 1962 merged into Air West April, 1968 and later became part of Hughes Air West. It severed several other airlines before being stored July, 1991.
Aeroclassic has done well with this mould. The nose shape, cockpit and cockpit windows are correct.
Wings are shaped correctly. The warning lights are visible on the tips of the wings and the tip of the tail. The scaled landing gear feature rolling tires. The
oval shaped passenger windows and the passenger doors are very sharp running just below the Bonanza cheat line.
The aircraft used Dart 529 engines which are accurately reproduced on the model. There is a good deal of detail on such a tiny model.
The colors of this model are accurate. Spinning propellers and rolling tires further add to this model.
My copy of the model has a significant gap between the tail and were it fits into the fuselage. The gap is big enough to see light through it. (Note that the other Bonanza model had the same gap but the Air West units did not. It is unclear how widespread this problem is but most of us that cherish this era of California aviation history will put up with it.)
Even with this problem I am glad to add this model to the collection. (Posted on 12/5/2012)
