Nice work on the Banshee , Travis and Stik , your centurion turret is looking good ![Yes](/emoticons/emotion-21.gif)
I've been doing some research on the F3D-2 Skyknight and picked up the Douglas F3D Skyknight book by Steve Ginter ;

There are lots of great pic's in the book , however sadly there are not that many close-up [walk a round] photos of the different aircraft systems , other than a few line drawings of the cockpit and this maintenance diagram ;

I would really like to do something similar with my build as in the pic above , I have plenty of ground crew and pilot figures to use ; Cutting open the speed [dive] brakes is straight forward , I even found some ammo box's to use in an open hatch just behind the cockpit , also cutting open some boarding steps on the starboard side of the fuselage and open the top of the canopy .
What I really would like to do is cut the nose cone off and have the AN/APQ-35 radar showing ...

I've had a bit of a search around Squadron.com and Hannants.co.uk for 1/72 resin radar sets . There are lots of resin radar's for other 1/72 aircraft but nothing for the F3D Skyknight .
Does anyone know of similar resin radar set that might be suitable , I've become a little obsessed over this , spending the last few evenings searching the net into the wee hours ![Indifferent](/emoticons/emotion-8.gif)
