So true, though I would prefer a F-23. Barry

And to think unlike my generation of white shirted, black tie & pocket protector engineers these "kids" look like the hippies on my gen.!! Crazy, Barry

It truly is a sight to behold! It is the "model A" of the functionally reusable rocket booster. Barry

Not sure what happened to the Radome but it looks like the GIB wasn't hanging around to find out what happened next. Barry

The Sierra Hotel are by far the best, I did not mention them as are usually not available. I am glad to hear that Mike has them available. I only considered those that are readily available. If you've gotten the SH nozzles you'll be very pleased. Barry

I have all the different nozzles and In my opinion the Eduard's Nozzles have the best/finest detail but are a little small in diameter like the Tamiya kit nozzles. I had done a photo comparison here a numbers of years ago but all the pics are gone courtesy of Photo Bucket and I can't find my originals. Barry

Joe goes by fox3tornado on eBay. As I recall the Exhaust Nozzles that GT Resin offers are the ones Joe used to sell, GT Resin has the rights to reproduce and sell them. Barry

I also have the Big Mo and the Arizona but grabbed the Enterprise when it came out a while back. I really like large scale ship models! Barry

Hi Dieter, Phantastic Phantom! You've done a superb job on the Ol Gal. Accurate depiction of the travel pod. When our jets went cross country over the weekends from Mac Dill AFB, Florida they always returned with Coors beer, because at the time it could not be purchased east of the Mississippi River. Always nice and cold upon arrival!! Very nice work. Barry

Seat looks great Eric! Barry

To Illustrate Tony's point. This is a Spey powered Phantom Barry

I can definitely see "Oliver's" inspiration in your build. Fantastic work! Barry

Excellent work Eric! Barry

Yep there are some big screws used in big places! Barry
