Hahahaha. Using the DCS Mustang for reference shots. Nice touch. I too love the F-51 in Korea. Interesting adaption late in life. Still have wanted to WHIF a F-47N in Korea markings, but only a dream.

The plaque he removed the sunglasses from says Test Pilot. Could explain the pressure suit bit. You guys continue to tear it apart. I'll sit back and wait for your own movies to be released.

Why we cant get a new CH-3 after all these years, just stuns me.

Look again. The fins are there on the AIM-9X. The angle and sun make them blend with the background, but on the larger image, you can see them.

P-51A, in what was known as the "Dazzle" scheme Here are a couple of different angles.

Snagged an Academy 1/72 F-4J and a pair of A-37s. I was going to grab a 1/48 UH-1C, but I need a F or P to build a 20th SOS Vietnam bird. Completely different engine exhaust, in the least.

Do turtle have rivets in their shell?

Unless its really current, the 34th jets show up with blank fin caps. The 4th have their tails painted though. They often deploy with a mix of jets, not only their own. Could you have seen that, possibly?

That's gorgeous. The training orange over aluminum is a great combo. Well done on this build. -Jeff

Another great looking project Giovanni. I'm sure interest will be very high. By the self made decals, this will be another winner. -Jeff

Great work Whitey. Whats the story on the "Combat Talon" noseart? I ask, because that is associated with the USAF's MC-130E/H, not much else. Could that have been a zap that was just kept? Or were the DCs working alongside the MCs on ops?

Looks like he was skidding on the bolter (tail left, nose right) and once regained control, it was already pointed toward the bow.

Stopped through Love Field on Friday afternoon, otw home from a business trip. Saw one of the last EA-6Bs sitting at the Jet Center, wings folded on the T-ramp. Then the Collins Foundation B-17 and B-24 landed.

Lots of "I know" in this thread. 😉 Only 2x.50 cals appear to be the standard config, IF they were fitted. But the cutaway drawing below references up to 6. There was space, but since it was a trainer, 2 filled the gunnery requirement. Maybe some of the foreign users fitted all 6, for various conflicts. Sounds like you'll be doing some scratch-building or kit bashing. Academy's T-33 also had the gun port option.

Nope, no tail flash with base affiliation is what I've heard from the Mx peeps a well. Yay AMC. 👎
