Joe, Thanks for the interesting insight on the ARR-8. So appreciate that you took the time to reply. Curt

Radio set AN/ARR-8 is an airborne broad band panoramic receiver to cover all tuning range of 70 to 210 mc. The limited information I can find on the web says "The receiver offers a rapid means of locating and measuring of the frequency of enemy signals which are on for a very short interval of...

I have a jack point pad I would appreciate some help to identify. It's a large pad, I assume for something heavy, bomber or cargo. I'm sorry I'm unable at this moment, to post a photo. The part number is 8E-2129-12. Thanks if you can.

I will have paint for spraying or airbrushing. I would like to have an aerosol can for hardware and touchups ect.

Wurger, Can you suggest a model paint (aerosol) to match RLM66 gray for the Me-109F cockpit? I'm not a modeler and not familiar with their paints.

Thanks Fubar. A really great addition.

I am hoping to find some color cockpit photos of a Bf-109F4 for a cockpit project I am working on. Good photos, advice on walkaround books or other resources I can reference appreciated. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer, Curt

A nice PB4Y-2 at Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson with all of the turrets. See Pimaair.org for photo.

The H was 600 lbs lighter and 50 mph faster than the D.

Thanks for the research mjfur. We probably had 1/3 of it stripped when the museum closed in the fall of 2015. Great to see it progressing.

Anyone familiar with the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Alabama? I'm interested in the status of the TB-25N they acquired from the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, IL when it closed in 2015. I've tried to contact them numerous times (email) and received no reply. Their website suggests...

Hello Catch, While you have your E & M out would you mind posting a page showing the oil cooler plumbing schematic? (Starboard wing if it matters). I'm chasing and oil leak in a museum static and would be helpful to see what is what. Thanks for anything you may be able to offer.

The outer skins we have for the gear doors have the 4 holes (countersunk) to mount the plate and I believe the bugel then bolts to the plate. It makes sense now after seeing Egor's picture showing the plate.

Thanks for the insight Catch. I can easily fabricate the part from Egor's last group of pics. I appreciate what you both have taken the time to offer.

egorrrr, exactly what I've been looking for! Your first picture in this post looks like a page from a parts catalog but I'm only seeing a thumbnail of it. Can you tell me what parts book it's from. If it's not too much to ask, would you be willing to post the parts break down and part number...
