Wow, don't think I ever heard about this. But it was a while ago. I got to Grand Forks not long after the B52 blew up on the SAC ramp. Some of the wreckage was still in the hanger I trained in. Creepy. What do you mean when you say the bell rang James?

Good job, don't get hung up on MIA parts, jst make new. :soldier

Sounds that Mirage got as much use out of that airframe as we got out of the Phantom II and then some. Yep, it's owned by these guys. https://www.atacusa.com

Well, you gonna open the box?

What lunatic leaves PE fret in the box the kit came in? :ph:

Just to add to this, Isreal built there own version of this. https://www.flightaware.com/photos/view/474086-c4a50a9e262c062e6006c09fa408438c89240405/aircrafttype/KFIR that's one of the things that rattles my windows every now and then.

Thanks Ian, now if I can just figure out where I put that fret of PE? :frantic:

They do get dirty but you notice how the streaks aft of those ports are clean.

Those things on the bustle are for spare barrels of the .50cal. At least that's what they were for the Korean Sherman. All this hard work is going to pay off, press on Gary! :soldier

Regarding the B17 Those slots on the trailing side of the wings were not exhaust ports. They were waste air ports from the superchargers. Any air that the supercharger couldn't suck in would go out those ports. Meaning, it was nothing but clean air, if you have smoke coming out of those ports...

Notice the side window seal hanging out. That looks like some personal knowledge right there. :rotf

Mr Rivera is getting a really nice kit to build. Zoom in on the casting, it's first class!

Nice job Chris!

I got that stuff! Forgot all about it. Good stuff Martin. Thanks!
