Protocol requires that nobody is ever allowed to be alone with a nuke... EVER. The F-84, F-86, F-100, F-101, F-104, F-105, F-16, F2H, FJ-4, A-1, A-4, A-7, and F-18 have all been tasked with nuke strike at some point in their lives, primarily in their single seat models for those that had a two seater version, while several of them only came in single seat versions. Then there were the single seat F-102 and F-106s that carried air to air nukes Regards, Murph Edited December 30, 2017 by Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Somewhat unrelated, but reading this thread (and others) made me realize the silver lining to an otherwise error-riddled kit like this. It results in those in the know posting real life facts that are hard to come by in most reference books and certainly in most kits. And for that I thank all of you.
