Maybe it's time that FSM joined the 2020's and created a forum for all modeling things 3D. I'd certainly enjoy it.

I was a proponent and maybe first post- I don't remember- of the "Civil Aircraft" child of "Aircraft".

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Ok, maybe a "more modern" D7G.  Something that can be used for most of the latter part of the cold war to near present; late '70s - early 2000s.

A "modern" D-7G?  G's came out in 1974.  They have been surplussed years ago.  The USMC dumped their 7G's in 2009 for JD 850's.  So has the Army engineers along with USAF CE.  I see one sitting in the yard rusting away every day.  Better to do a Meng D-9R.

Looking good.  I wish someone would do a modern D7G so I could mount it on the trailer of my ongoing M920/M870A1 project:
