Rick Griewski Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hmmm... Maybe a different angle on this build. Anyone know the type of aircraft that was or would have been flown by the fictional "5 o'clock Charlie on the M*A*S*H TV show? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've one question: as far ar no major part of a kit has been assembled, is it possible to put such a kit in the group build?I've a Seafire for which many parts have been cleaned, converted, re-scribed but all major elements are still separate. I know that generally the rule of the 10% of assembly is the threshold but as in this case only a handful of kit parts are going to be used, this does not really apply here. Let me know!

airscale Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I need to look to see if F7F3's were involved in Korea - maybe do a GSB scheme afterall certainly more forgiving than NMF I know there were nightfighters at Suwon but they were 2 seaters with the big bulbous radome added one to google methinks...

LSP_K2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Anything in your neck of the woods Kevin ? Yes, very much in my neck o' the woods, Harv, is the region 5 regional, being hosted by my local IPMS chapter, this September 12th, not to mention one of the best hobby shops around, CRM Hobbies, run by a good friend of mine. Very much worth a look-see, if you're ever in the St Louis area. Calendar event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thierry, the threshold for eligibility is 25% or less completed. It sounds like you'll be OK. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) What I'd really love to make is this one: I have always loved this aircraft - it is the true jet successor to the P-61 Black Widow (which to my my mind, should have participated in the Korean war). I know that Tigger Models makes a vacform kit of this aircraft, and I will buy one off him eventually, but cannot afford it at this time (I still wish that I had one in my stash though - I even bought the MPM Skynight book last November!).

Derek I knew you'd come up with the Whale, Derek ! When the MiG-15 proved to be an efficient night-fighter against the B-29s, after chasing them from day light operations, the Skynight managed to down a MiG-15 and thus cool down the zeal of its pilots.
