| Or, like this one? I acquired these from the Hobby SHop that I grew up with. When the owner retired in the early 90's, he was going to throw them away, but I convinced himthat collectors would go nuts for them. They did and he gave me three of these diplays as a token of his appreciation. They are near & dear to me. |

| Continuing on DonC's nostalgia: Anybody else drool over one of these displays high up on the Hobby Shop wall like I did when I was of the single digit age? |

| Must get '92 done before starting other projects! These are two of the main L/G doors and the hinges that I fabricated for the Nose Gear doors. The picutres of the real thing showed that the hinges were pretty massive castings which has given me pause for quite some time. The light bulb moment came and I drilled a slightly off-center hole in some Dowel Stock, sawed off thin sections then added the attachment points. |
