This time something brand new, I promised to Nighthunter long ago, after He expressed some interest in drawing it in Israeli colors.

Note: BR recce planes were conversions and it seems that at least some looked almost identical with standard B bomber.

Thanks, Eswube, I'll get around to it :P

Another beautiful aircraft that was developed at the height of the Great Depression, the Beechcraft Model 17 "Staggerwing":

The most common D17S (USAAF designation UC-43 Traveler):

And the post war version, the G17S:

Thanks for kind comments! :)

Here are several experimental planes built on Philippines in early 1950s. Apparently only Philippine domestic aircraft designs (although several other types were built under license, including BN-2 Islander). They are very little known planes (at least outside Philippines - I found out about them just several days ago), so unfortunately, sources are very, very scarce, and therefore so is the detailing (and paint schemes for the first two are far from perfect).

Philippines, IST XL-14 Maya (1953)

Those little-known early attempts in having a local Phil. aircraft industry are a gem! [ img ]
Nice work Eswube. :)

Thanks! :)

And here's another trip to the Far East. Thailand's most known (though not only one) domestic design, the Vejayanrangsrit Boripatra light bomber and army co-operation plane of 1927, built in short series of around 12.
Unfortunately, sources for this (and any other Thai) aircraft are extremely scarce - actually the drawing was done based on photographs of currently existing replica, so it's accuracy is certainly far from perfect.
I'd also like to express my gratitude to Superboy for His help in trying to find sources about this plane.

Thailand, Vejayanrangsrit Boripatra
