I spent my Military career working on flight decks of US Navy Aircraft carriers. One of the biggest dangers was getting to close to the intakes of jet engines. I don't see how anybody could bail out of that thing with the intake right above your head. I agree with you on this one Tim. Your dead on when you say, "Yea, right"!!!!! :gray-plane: Chris

Great Job, The weathering is outstanding, Spot on.... :m1helmet:

David, As a Armor guy I welcome you back. As others have said be active on here and the feedback and info will flow like water to you. Chris Graeter

Great build, hard to believe she is only 1/72 scale. Big Sucker!!! I think this is your best one to date by far. How did it do at the show?

Here's my list: Trophy hunters at contest,We all know them. Really bugs me when they place second or not at all and start acting like a two year old throwing the biggest tantrum in the world . Humm Scratch that last part about bugging me, I actually really enjoy that one. I actually get the biggest evil smile on my face for the day . Ahhh happy thoughts!!!! Oh yes Mold lines on small hard to clean up pieces and ejector pins on tracks.

Welcome Aboard Russell!!! :Smile_sceptic:

Well being ex-Navy I'm not completely sure but the bigger gun is either a 5" or 3" deck gun. Diffently from WWII era. The 40mm were used for anti-aircraft duty.

Very nice demo...

Nice job, weathering looks great.Really like the ground work.....

don't forget the side skirts, British Honeys had them and US Sturts did not.

Welcome aboard Carl!!!!

Great build Dennis. I have been using that airbrush for about a year also. Love it!!!

Hello, I'm try to get a hold of Larry Randel to correct my contact e-mail address for our clubs upcoming event CANAM CON on April 13,2013. I have sent him a e-mail but no reply yet and the e-mail is still wrong. I'm concerned because people are trying to contact me with the contest coming up so soon and all people get when they try to contact me is a reply of unsendable mail. If Larry cannot help is there somebody else? My e-mail on the upcoming events page says cgrae4906@aol.com It should be cgrae49006@aol.com, looks like a zero was left out. Thanks, Chris Graeter Show Chairman
