This makes sense. The German Gotha bomber was built similarly.

@RGL, just found your log. Happily following along.


I did a little further reading, apparently there was also an aerodynamic advantage in that the upper surfaces of both wings were uninterrupted. This allowed a slightly reduced wingspan, without a comparative resulting loss of lift.

Maybe one day a WNW Gotha!!!

Don't wait too long, or else who knows when you'll find one. Recently, a batch of WnW kits hit the market here in the USA. They were hidden away in some warehouse on NZ, supposedly. Did they show up in Australia, too? There are the early Gotha models with a similar wing/fuselage configuration as the Handley, one on weel landing gear and one on floats. The later model Gotha's had a more convention wing/fuselage arrangement.

True, they are pricey, but nowhere near the insane prices vendors were asking for on Ebay before these arrived. The current price is about the same as they were when WnW was still in business unless you hit one of their anniversary sales like I did one time.

Unfortunately for some bizarre reason shipping from the US to Australia is truely offensive. A $90 kit has the same amount for shipping pretty much. It does not make sense why it is to high short of blatant profiteering from the carrier companies, a Gotha has a  $200 shipping fee!!

At one time, shipping was based on weight and size of the package.  Who knows what voodoo they now use to compute fees.

Anyways, I now have 4 WNW kits which I intend to build on here if I live long enough. There are 2 more ships in the stash which will be done soon as there is very little that is grabbing me, maybe another Dreadnought ? Lots of stories about some new RN kits to be released but I don’t believe it.

Maybe you could do some work demonstrating your weathering technique for the rest of us that are less adept at such artistry....

 

I for one would greatly appreciate it...
