Paul Boyer Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I chop off the wall from each fuselage half and fashion a 0.010" sheet into a half tube and glue it inside the top of the opened nose. This half tube then dives down under the cockpit and looks like the intake duct. You can't see much farther, so it doesn't really have to lead anywhere. attaching the front of the intake hides the front edge of the half tube.

Paul Boyer Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Only six small decals on this one, but they came from the Caracal U-2 sheet. Academy's old U-2C: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) So Solo, the question on everyone's mind... is that a napalm canister or a "special" store? Beautiful work! Edited January 24, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thank you all. And yes, that is special nuclear device. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hmm... the MO ANG must have got it from the State Police! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago, a former far-right (member of John Birch Society) governor of New Hampshire was pushing hard for the Public Service Company of NH (private electric utility) to build a nuclear power plant at Seabrook so that he could harvest the spent fuel for plutonium in order to arm the State Police with tactical nuclear weapons. 🤣 Edited February 15, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fessSto Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I had never heard that story before, Dutch. Thanks for the history lesson. It might be a bit extreme but it won't be a good way to effectively eliminate crime in your state. 😜 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 That's okay Solo, it was a location joke. You had to be there! Reminds me of the huge sheet banner hanging from a four story dormitory at UNH circa 1982: "Club baby seals, Nuke the whales. Strip mine NH." A little satire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 My old county had an M-113 APC they painted up like their patrol cars with department logos on it. After Ferguson riots the Military took back all the military stuff after they decided it wasn’t a good idea to arm police like the military. But all they ever did with it was PR stuff at County events and the State Fair. We are a big military town and a lot of the retired guys liked taking their grandkids to go see it so they could run through it and climb on it. Honestly, it was a blatant waste of their budget. I know the guy that towed it for them. It was a $2000 tow bill each time they picked it up each way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
