Ive just seen that someone spotted the vent......strange things happen trying to work on this site...

I went back to my first scan done at a very high photo rate but you can also see what may be a vent in the dorsal surface of the fuse above the wing trailing edge....it would also appear to have been two tone, there is also a diamond pattern on the sides of the fuselage mainly below the cabin but reaching back over the wing.

Heres a link to my Seagull research elswhere...if anyones interested In contributing will set up a thread here as well.

mines the Traplet RC version.
 
That aint a plane!...its a work of art. Thumbnail won't go big.

I'm drunk tho.
 
I`m sober and the thumbnail wont go big either. Shows the coloured flash paint-job well. The cooling remains a mystery. Any more Kiwi ?

Useful picture Kiwi,must get around to doing some sort of model of this one day.

With a modern small turbojet it would have been successful,I think they realised that there would be cooling problems with the Gipsy engine,not a motor that likes being cowled up and certainly not suited to pusher work.

A machine years ahead of its time and one that the replica builders could have a field day with.
