Ahhhh, those vertical tails are 'bug'ing me!


Recommended Posts

dehowie, there is a simpler timeline, already mentioned in this thread.

1. Aircraft modeler that spent 15 years on type points out error in the tails

2. Model manufacturer notices and agrees, and then posts that he is correcting the small error. Edit (post #14, this is #27)

3. long posts get made by people that completely didn't see #2

then 4. the new P-40 kit gets released, etc.

5. a very few modelers just say "thanks" to both the modeler that pointed the tails out, and to the manufacturer that agreed and decided to fix them

and 6. Thanks.

I like http://data6.primeportal.net/hangar/daryl_nightingale/cf-118_hornet/images/cf-118_hornet_117_of_149.jpg as the picture was taken from a certain height, not from the ground. The camera may be more perpendicular to the fin plane still the camera isn't centered on the subject so there may be distortion.

Dave, Thanks for finding the little error and showing it to the proper people. Raymond thanks for taking the information and correcting the part in question.
