Why is the boarding ladder partially deployed?

Deleted. Posted that sheet #2 is still available. Missed your title.

I made some entries on the 3/4, 3/8, and 3/18 ARC Facebook page with some WIP pictures. 3/1, 3/4, 3/6 3/7, and 3/17 in “Space Modeling”

It took a third behind the LEM and Ben Guenther’s “Ingenuity”. The kit gives copper wire for the axles, and antennas (coming out if the sides). I used telescoping and soldered brass tubing. I also added .006” solder for the wiring. I had a build thread on one of the Facebook space modeling and ARC pages. It’s pretty much OOB.

Fun little kit even with 37 parts to solder for each wheel. Chris

The CWM kit is awesome. I used fine lead wire instead of the rubber thread. I 50/50 scratchbuilt my CRL. Bone Fragments has a more detailed and accurate version hitting the market soon. Chris PS No need to mention my Navy JDAMS on a USAF jet. I know. I know.

A friend printed it out and test for the part to a junked F-15 that was laying around somewhere.

First test print. Lots of refining to go.

I’ve sold finished kits before and usually charge 3-4 times the cost of the parts. There’s no way you’ll ever get what your time is worth.

Thanks Corey. I’m glad I drove it all the way from Virginia. I got it off of eBay from the maker. Combat Conversions. chris

Looking forward to this one. I’ve got the Combat Conversions kit en route.

Believe it or not; it’s what I do professionally.

Air Force Armament Museum? The pickets from the railing and black trim below suggests that this may be it.

Inside. Here's a list of survivors. Possibly one of them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Republic_F-105_Thunderchiefs

Thank you. I drove that sucker 600 miles from Virginia and can't believe it made the round-trip without a scratch. Chris
