Army_Air_Force Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That will make a nice change. You better get your finger out though as there's not much time of the group build left! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 almost 2.5 months left is plenty o time! Interesting though with no windows on the nose. Will cut down on your interior work time for sure! Chromed props as well. I'm gonna like this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Army_Air_Force Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The props look more bare metal to me, rather than chromed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The props look more bare metal to me, rather than chromed. That's what I meant just couldnt think of the wording at the time. I don't think they were trying to "bling" it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Meat haulers without refrigeration.... BLECH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Army_Air_Force Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The 'Meat' was probably still walking at the time!!!! Then again, if you're flying that high, it's cool anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 The 'Meat' was probably still walking at the time!!!! Then again, if you're flying that high, it's cool anyway! Idk reading some of those comments it sounds like the meat was already processed. And I don't think they flew on oxygen or anything so i doubt they were flying up where it was so high. double blech.

Army_Air_Force Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) La Paz is almost at 12,000 feet, so even at ground level, they were already pretty high, and the daily average temperature at La Paz is only between 5 and 8 centigrade, ie., fridge temperatures.

At any altitude. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostucha Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Very cool. Reminded me of the stories of how crews would use the temps at altitude to make icecream. A little more appetizing than the idea of meat, but none the less, very, very neat build! Cheers, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I positively hated the way they designed the two small windows of the Nav's compartment with that rectangular piece on this kit. Aside from that this is a joy kit. Looking good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stefan buysse Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Hi, I do like it. Somehow, it makes me think of that B-36 that flew around with a nuclear reactor in it. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
