Question About SUU-11 Minigun Pod on A-1 Skyraider
junkman3353 replied to Drifterdon's topic in General Discussion
Completely "spit-balling" here but I would speculate that it was hung on that pylon for accuracy reasons-less of an offset from the gun sight. Additionally, I've only seen it mounted on the left wing main pylon. Maybe that was the only one that was wired for the SUU-11. -
I followed your advice. Spruebrothers had, and still has, them in stock. This project is typical of me. Bought the Roden kit on a whim, then your sheet and now I'm looking for another one or two to use more off the sheet. Its a condition I just can't stop. Don't even bring up the 1/48th P-51 sheets I have, including yours.

Ah, a person of taste and refinement. NZ Sauvignon Blanc is also quite the "go to" when I'm at our local warehouse store. Back on topic: I put all the spammers on "ignore" last night and while I didn't see any change immediately, today they are gone. If I did it, that's the ticket. If a "higher power" here did it, great. But they're gone. -
F-86A in 1/48. Come on! Sterling combat history, longevity, oh-so-many colorful schemes both regular Air Force and ANG. Spitfire PRXI in 1/48. Airfix has the wing in the PRXIX kit and just needs a modification of the Mk IX fuselage and a new windscreen/canopy. And maybe the XIX would work there too. I have many plans for model companies money.

Don't get too attached, the government will likely cancel it. (ducking/covering)

You set a low bar but I agree. I also don't think we've seen the last of D.J.

Well, he took the first shot, and missed.

I understand there is a vacancy in the position of King of the Seven Kingdoms......

I'm recalling that when Rogue One was at this stage of hype there was trailer after trailer showing scenes that never appeared in the final release. Until The Last Jedi comes out, I refuse to make assumptions about anything.

A related/unrelated kind of question: has anyone done the research to determine the markings of Marshall Harrison's OV-10 as written up in his book "A Lonely Kind of War"? Especially when he was flying where there wasn't supposed to be any US presence (i.e. Cambodia). I'm assuming some sanitizing was done (national markings, etc) but I've never seen it confirmed.

A different kind of battle. On a related note, Santa Rosa, CA had a street art exhibit a few years back utilizing "Peanuts" characters. Still on display is this one outside of a (really good) breakfast establishment. How about Woodstock in the back seat? http://www.waymarking.com/gallery/default.aspx?f=1&guid=000150cf-3c4f-44ba-a18a-b4a96d1ab461&lat=38.4371&lon=-122.71933&t=6&gid=2&st=2

Far be it for me to dispute a "professional" but I am a history buff. I would direct you to this article, and most specifically the section "Publication and staging confusion". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_the_Flag_on_Iwo_Jima Or from Rosenthal's NYT obituary: "But almost from the day the photograph was emblazoned on the front pages of Sunday newspapers as a symbol of embattled patriotism, Mr. Rosenthal faced suspicions that he staged the shot, posing the Marines. He always insisted that he recorded a genuine event, and others on the scene corroborated his account. “The picture

Kursad, do you have this squadron on your list? You did so well with the first one. And yes, I have a sheet.
