Thanks, Cliff. I really appreciate it.

Russ: I ended up taking all day at the St. Augustine lighthouse so it was five o'clock by the time I got to Pooler. I'm headed out the museum tomorrow morning. Will make sure to grab some photos of the B-52's wingtips.

Gamera

Guys, gonna hit the 8th Air Force Museum in Pooler, GA on the way home, anyone want any photos? Been there once but don't remember exactly what aircraft they have.

I have decided to get started on the HobbyBoss MiG-17 1/48 scale. It will be Soviet markings /NMF. First though I must finish up a side project, something I don't normally build: armor. ~

That's gonna look neat, Mike. I haven't built any armor kits since the 60's. My last kit was the Renwal Atomic Cannon. I think it was 1/32 scale but it was really big (about 3 ft long with the tractors connected). Sure wish I still had it... .

Russ

   Atomic cannon? That sounds like a 1950's Sci-Fi weapon, one that I too would like. I think I actually remember the one you're talking about. I have a great affinity for post WW2/ Cold War stuff like that. ~

Hi Everyone,

Chop chop!!  Cut cut!!  And presto!  Another wing is done!  I had to tape the fuselage together along with the wings so I could get an idea of how it is shaping up.  Here it is so far:

Ken 

 

Lol! Ken's Chop Shop!    That's gonna look great, Ken!  

 

 I can't remember - were there trim tabs on the F-4 ailerons?

 

Russ

Hi Russ,

Thank you for the compliment!

Trim tabs, hmm..., that is a good question.  I don't know.  I will have to research that.

Ken

Ken:

I'm sure you know this, the trim tabs are like elevators for the elevators...lol

I still can't believe the darn things work....

or that the BUFF is an airplane that can take off with its nose pointed 3 degrees to the runway....lol

Dom

Hi Dom,

10-4 on knowing what trim tabs are.  I will have to get my book out and look at the pictures to see if there are any.  I am downstairs at the moment and my book is upstairs.

Of course the reason I am here on these threads is because i have the opportunity to meet the guys that make up our present company. I can't be a member of the Airforce, an Army soldier, or Navy crew, or pilot in 'Nam, but i will remember all of the things you guys share from your experiences.

That makes me a very fortunate guy to share this company.

So, Russ, what is it we remember, that seems like an eternity, but goes by in an instant?

-our lives

Dom

 

Nicely said and all too true, Dom. BTW, you would be an asset in any of those roles .

Okay, I am going away red-faced right now.......

errrr....are you disposing of the resin sawdust in an enviro-mental-ly friendly way Ken?

Are you?-Fess up now, or forever breath resin-polluted-air!

If not please click on <I-Hate-Polar-Bears.green>

to receive your "citation".....lol

Ken, did you tell us the the saw/x-blade gauge for those cuts,

or did i miss that?

Dom

Hi Dom,

Thank you for the compliment!

When I am sawing or filing on the resin I turn on my exhaust fan.  The cuts on the plastic was made with a #11 blade.
