That's awesome so far!

Just remember that most of it burned off coming back through the atmosphere! Cheers....Ron

Thanks for the link! Cheers....Ron

My dad was on the Apollo 11 launch team. He worked the rocket engines on the Lunar Module.

That looks awesome!

Kinda off topic but does anyone make a B-17 crew inflight to put in the seats for a flying display? I know Monogram had a set of crew figures in the high end B-17 kit. Now back to our regular scheduled B-17 chat..... Cheers....Ron

Had a few syncrophasers on the old MC-130 that would wander off and the engineer would unsync them all and then re-sync them up. Was a lot of vibration for that brief period of flight. Cheers...Ron

Lookin good! I flew the T2 as a Lockheed employee here at Kirtland. The old girl gained a lot of weight. When they put the hose pods on and other associated equipment the operating weight was around 102,000 pounds. Max takeoff was 155,000 so it really limited the payload it could carry. Cheers...Ron

That Pioneer Airways DC-3 was a good looking airplane too. My old boss in C-5's when he was a young loadmaster flew on AC-47's in South Vietnam. He said it was a great airplane to fly in. Cheers....Ron

I've built three of those Monogram C-47's over the years. You did a great job on yours! No TSA...no jetway no fighting for an overhead bin...people dressed nice to fly and got real silverware for their inflight meal..... Cheers....Ron

Great job....fantastic display and cabinet/table too. Wish I had the woodwork skill for some display stuff I want to do. Cheers...Ron

I like it! Great job! Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! A Herk in SEA paint is always my favorite. Cheers...Ron

J-79.....

It's an origional logo from Lockheed....I have the patch my dad wore on his flight suit when he was stationed at Edwards AFB in the late 50's early 60's. There was no mistake it was a 104 in the pattern with the J-70 howl. Cheers...Ron
