Whilst I'm on a NOAA and NASA theme, another of my small but slowly growing R&D fleet. This is the 1/72 Matchbox DH.Twin Otter, with the usual home made Mod's and markings.

I've just had a thought, a dangerous thing! Should the NASA-NOAA stuff be in the civil aircraft forum?
I would consider them to be a government entity, although the aircraft all have civil tail numbers.
Nice job!

Whichever category it goes in, it's beautiful. What doesn't look cool in NASA markings?

That looks GREAT!! Very nice look on the otter!
I think it looks fine right where it is. That's a very nice build of a subject we don't often see here. Thank you for posting it.

Thanks chaps!
One of those dratted planes buzzes above my house, dawn to dusk, almost every day, circling up to altitude at full power, carrying skydivers up from a near-by airport. They have over 30,000 people jump out of it every year!
End of rant.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Nice looking clean build! Now I know who makes a kit of that aircraft. Used to fly in and out of Petersburg AK in the late 70s on one of those. They were called "puddle jumpers" by the locals.

Thanks chaps! it's a very attractive aircraft with lots of interesting colour schemes.
John- I am really enjoying these NASA/NOAA aircraft; it's another subject matter I would never have thought of doing- much like those photo Canberras. To see them all done so well, that's just even better.
Please, keep them coming!

Thanks Dre, I love R&D as a subject as you get everyday military and civil Aircraft but often with unusual mod's and quite often very interesting and eye catching colour schemes. To this end I've posted another one! I hope you like it too.
John,
You've done such a great job on your NASA/NOAA builds, I'm going to open up a whole new can of worms for your consideration. One of NOAA's predecessors was Navy Squadron VXN-8.(Oceanographic Development Squadron 8). Lots of eye-catching paint schemes on both various models of P-3 and C-121 (Super Connie) aircraft. I remember "Paisano Tres", an RP-3D on Project Magnet that had the WB cartoon "Roadrunner" on her red and white paint scheme, and, El Coyote which was a P-3 assigned to Project Sea Scan and had WB cartoon's Coyote on her identical red and white paint job from the days I was stationed at the Naval Air Test Center at Patuxent River, Maryland
in the early 70's.
All the best and Keep up the good work

Funnily enough Ray I was looking at some photos of that the other day, I do quite fancy it I must say, Don't be surprised if I'm not back in touch to pick your brains!
