The Thunderbirds F-4E and Blue Angels F-4J Thread
Cajun21 replied to Ben Brown's topic in Jet Modeling
At Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland OH at the entrance they have a F-4E and F-J on a stick. Obviously in T-Bird and BA markings, the E is painted as #1 and was in fact the #1 aircraft back in the day, The -J was also a retired BA bird. Cheers Itch -
Agreed, with everything open it's in maintenance mode and as such would not be armed. I do open canopies when ever possible though. Cheers Itch

What color were the M47 WP bombs painted during SEA?
Cajun21 replied to Drifterdon's topic in General Discussion
I would think it was close to British Interior green. Just a thought. Cheers Itch -
The USAAF/USAF oxygen bottles were yellow during WW II and Korea. After which they went to the national standard green. I will assume it was the same for the USN. Cheers Itch

I, like most of my contemporaries, started in 1/72nd and as I got older and vision was not quite as acute I moved to 1/48th. Then about 20 years ago I started 1/32nd, I haven't abandoned 1/48th just branching out a bit. On a lark I built the 1/24th Airfix Hurricane and enjoyed that (may do more in the future). I haen't built anything in about 15 years but plan on getting back into after I retire in 2 years. May even go over to the dark side and build some 1/35th armor. Love the looks of the M-10, Achilles, M18 and armored cars. Cheers , Itch

During the late 60's when we could we carried the twin mount mostly to RP 6 and sometimes 5. Cheers Itch

Nice shots, thanks. Cheers Itch

Another note, depending on how early it was manufactured it may have the main gears doors open on the ground. Itch

ES Don't know the thinking but the Russians used red (and white) stars as far back as WWII. And as you stated probably Socialist victory over the imperialist. Cheers Itch

A-10 effectiveness during Desert Storm
Cajun21 replied to phasephantomphixer's topic in Research Corner
Not necessarily, they dropped on "soft" targets also. Cheers Itch -
Went to both those when I moved into the area with wife 1.0. There was also a Squadron Shop for awhile too, mid 70's time frame. My first hobby shop was Franklin's five and dime where I got some wood aircraft kits and saw my first plastic kit (Starfix I believe) can't remember exact one but it was a bi-plane. Cheers Itch
