  1. Great work!  It does look odd without stepped elevators and with the original wingtips.  I can still remember falling in love with that scheme when I first saw it in a mid-70’s issue of Airpower magazine.

  2. I watch Growling Sidewinder every day.

     

    I started on MSFS 1(?) and found flying a C172 on instruments and plan view pretty boring.  A year or so later I discovered Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat and loved it! I needed the threat of “death” as a requirement for fun.

     

    Last sim I played was MSFS 10(?) that offered WWII maps.  I guess my monitor wasn‘t very good because I had a difficult time seeing targets more than a few hundred yards/meters away.

  3. I created a relational database using the ancient Lotus Approach.  Back when it wasn’t ancient.  It runs fine on W10.  Sadly, I’m not imaginative enough to create the proper entity relationship diagram so that could keeps kits and accessories in the same database.  Keeping up with two files is slightly annoying, but they are linked and I can see what accessories I have for any kit.

  4. MIGHT have used red tape.  As the inboard barrel shrouds protruded from the leading edge, covering would be difficult.  I don’t recall any Mustang D’s with covering.  A’s and B/C’s guns did not protrude so they could have been covered.

  5. A made-for-tv movie called “Family Flight“ in 1972 dealt with this subject. Plane was a Navion and it was eventually landed on the carrier Ranger cruising off SoCal as that was closest known medical help.

    …I always had it in my head that the Agena was much larger…

    I’ve had the same delusion for the past 50-something years since I watched a docking broadcast live.

     

    I also agree that your build is <Billy Crystal>Marvelous</Billy Crystal>.
