page 231 of the Milberry bible has a photo of 23350 and it is captioned 'from the Central Flying School' in Trenton 'SU' does not mean Summerside. Tony

The wing is NOT from a Mk6, it is a F-86F-40 wing. The aircraft that towed targets in Cold Lake was a ex-German Mk6 from Airspray.

from my walkaround in Comox 2009

To make a C-5 out of a 1/144 DC-6; shorten the fuselage 16mm in front of the wing and 8.5mm behind the wing. that's all, everything else is the same. I did some extra work on the cowl flaps and hollowed out the oil cooling scoops and stuff. CanMilair decals

You wanna 1/48 Tutor seat, PM me. the wing tank/ pylons are further inboard than standard Sabre pylons. I don’t have a measurement, just go by photos. Tony

I'm no Tomcat expert, but probably a 'G' or an 'H' Cheers, Tony

a bit of light reading; http://aviationarchives.net/Flight Systems Sabres.htm

Classic example of bad information The scoops were a feature of Orenda powered Sabres, both Mk5s & Mk6s. They came into use in the mid`58 timeframe. Thats why GH Mk5s have the sugar scoops

Black, there is a T-33 at the museum at the Vic airport, you can easily gain access to the cockpit. Tony

Ah yes, I can see now. Now back to our regular scheduled program

John, FWIW, the Sabre Mk5 had grey cockpit and seat with a black instrument panel. Cheers, Tony (decals are on the way)

Sabre Mk5s were 23001-23370, John, I have a ton of decals at home and I will be home late tonight, PM me and we can see what I have spare and available for you Tony

Looks the biz, Rh side loooks more convincing than the left IMHO. great work! Tony

In that era, the shoulder harness did not go through the headrest. The pilot sat on a survival seat pack similar to the Tutor seat pack. I get home later tonight, Brad, I can send some pics 😀 Tony

The T-33 seats didn’t have too many versions, Brad. They should work fine. Later in the nineties, the shoulder harness came through the headrest. What era are you doing? Tony

I thinks it's time the title of this thread was edited

I've been known to put a model on ARC, HS, Britmodeller at the same time. Nobody has complained yet. Tony

Relax, I'm still getting amused by all the 'good job' comments, when all they are trying to say is 'I like that colour scheme/decal set'. Forgetting to look at the actual construction/painting of the model. Keep it up folks :) Tony

My grampa's cousin was laid to rest on 14 Mar 2018 in Perth cemetery near Zillebeke, Belgium. Both my brothers and I, and many cousins from the UK made it to the ceremony. We also were privileged to meet the archaeologists and they took us to the field where Thomas was found. A very moving experience, indeed. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5500633/Private-Thomas-Edmundson-buried-103-years-died-WWI.html Cheers, Tony

Mine does Tony

yup, what was I thinking by starting this thread, Crazy talk, i tell ya Tony

the city bus runs to Pearl as well from Waikiki, #42, I believe. Tony

I realize that, but a couple of days these threads will be buried in later pages too. If they were in the HobbyShop directory at least people would have a smaller search window. I'm only thinking of using the tools we are given, for their purpose. Model On !!!! Tony

that's where questions and answers should be. All in one spot so folks can research and plan their visits accordingly. Can the mods move posting there ??? tony
