• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

This was actually the aerodynamic prototype for the E-1. It originally had the E-1 radome installed (never had radar installed) and the shorter fuselage of the C-1. It was later lenghtened to the E-1 standard and later still, had the radome removed. It finished it's service life designated as a C-1A and was stationed at one point of ot's life at Quonset Point Naval Air Station, RI as well as Cecil Field. Reportedly, the aircraft still exists at the Quonset Point air museum

Well, if you can help sort out the antenna rigging, I can probably do that in a hurry.

Basically the same as the C-1. If you keep the mapping the same as the E-1, I can paint it using the exising E-1 paint kit.

You must read minds, Milton. I was going to ask, but I know that you have a lot of "irons in the fire".

EC-1A Prototype

How does this look (apologies to Duckie for temporarily using his textures).

This is the E-1B without the radome and with C-1A antenna rigging added.

Now, anyone volunteer a paint scheme?
 
Okay, she is packaged and uploaded.

Anyone wanting a copy to repaint, speak up. :)

Hank, check your PM's for the link.
 
Found a pic of a E-1 that seems to be operating without the radome
and has a all white scheme.
