Guest Uncle Fester Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Turned this out for a desk display for a friend of mine. We both loaded bazillions of these in our USAF days. He wanted a 6" model for his desk at work so I obliged. It's 99% done, just waiting on a 1/4" end mill to countersink the suspension lug into its threaded slot and then a good polishing. Weighs in at about eight ounces or so. I can only imagine some RC folks wanting to do some practice drops with it. LOL! Nope, not gonna paint it blue....though I may do it on the next one.

David66 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Well done Uncle Fester, that's a stunning bit of metal working. Definitely a very different desk-top model, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy vd M. Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Marvelous piece of workmanship! I must admit, not recognizing the "BDU-33" typology, upon clicking this thread I expected a giant model airplane to virtually crash through my computer screen. Luckily it turns out to be just a baby bomb. Very nice! Your friend must be very happy with this beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
