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?

With a different back ground, it sould be a Ramp shot at Edwards. Now on to the installation of the cockpit innards and finishing up the canopy.

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.

I believe that I have found my next project. Owned and restored by a chap in Waukegan(?). It is a actual survivor of Pearl Harbor. It flew search missions the afternoon of the event.

I couldn't resist throwing everything into the hole to see what it looks like.

The pnuematic hoses are soft solder with very fine fuse wire wrapped around it, then CA'd in place. Quite convincing IMHO.

It's a good thing that I had the seat done before my ISU Cyclones lost in the first round of the NCAA: Depressing. But, like a true fan, I drink to celebrate or to forget. Seat made of Basswood with bits of solder and medical tape for the seat belts.

As a counterpoint to DD's great pictures of spring in the desert: Lake Okoboji still frozen solid today.
