Bump

Willing to purchase at a fair price as well as trade.

Got bit by the EC-121 bug. Just a beautiful aircraft. I see a few on eBay but wanted to check here first and see if there might be any available; I do have some trade fodder (but not much). Let me know if you're interested in working with me on this via PM, I check pretty much daily. Thanks, Jeff Tuttle

I've tried the "impale" approach as well as the "tailpipe" approach, and they're fairly straightforward- I just can't stand to drill a big hole in an aircraft I worked hard on...so I have tried the rare earth magnets and have found that they do work if you over-engineer the holding capacity and imbed them in a substantial glob of 2-part epoxy inside the a/c- then getting the other magnet attached to the "pole" becomes the hard part if you're using acrylic rod or wood. It's a little more work but I like the end result. Jeff

The Revell builds are inspiring! Makes me want to finish the ones in my stash. Excellent. Jeff

That's great info...I'm doing the same thing with mine. Sounds like I just leave off the H-shaped part and set the wheel in the well with the y-yoke flush on the nacelle. I have had to cut a wheel in half before on some other kits to get it to fit into the well without sticking out too far. Thanks again for the explanation. Jeff

I would try to scratch build these but I've no pattern to go by. Any ideas? Jeff
