  1. im doing glencoe's maritime work horses model and i am working on the steam ship. and i was wondering if there are any references available for that ship or is it just a general idea on what the ship is if anybody can help please. its in 1/200 or 1/400 scale.

  2. PF and MF are VERY different birds. Almost nothing alike other than the basic central section of the fuselage, landing gear and intake.

    -Dorsal Spine: totally different shapes, the MF being almost a straight line from canopy to tail, the PF being large in front and small/narrow in front of the tail.

    -Canopy: PF has a one-piece canopy opening forward. MF has a 3-paned fixed windscreen with a canopy that opens sideways.

    -Underwing Pylons: 2 on the PF, 4 on the MF

    -Ventral Cannon: MF has a 2-barreled cannon pack aft of the nosegear; PF has no gun at all.

    -Vertical Tail: MF has a wide-chord (large area) tail. PF has a very noticably narrower tail. Also earlier PF's had no parachute canister at the base of the tail, another very noticable difference

    -Pitot boom: PF has a large boom mounted on the midline/center. MF has it offset to the side with angled vanes near the tip.

    -AOA vane: the MF has a small fairing on the port side of the nose for the AOA vane. No such equipment on the PF.

    Trying to turn one into the other would be a total nightmare.

    thanks a bunch for saving me the nightmare. i looked more into it they all look the same and it looks like a bad idea waiting to happin haha! thanks a lot.
