I take it you have problems with those of us that would prefer a G? Seems to me the W had been done numerous times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

midnightprowler Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think a Accurate G in any scale is long overdue but especially in a larger scale, and there are many options for nose art. I much prefer olive drab to shades of gray lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The kit has already been described as being an NTS equipped model, which still used HSS until the last what, 3-4 years of service before being retired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, but it also has the dual ALE-39 buckets, which weren't installed until 2013-1014, around concurrent with HDTS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If you go back to the first page Dave Roof stated the kit will have both non-NTS (either a -1W before NTS or HDTS) and NTS options available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sorry to sound foolish. But what is NTS and non-NTS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NTS = Night Targeting System: https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/an-aws-1.htm The kit will come with parts to build it w/and w/out NTS.
