Oh, OK--I was just wondering. I am up here in Saline Co. Welcome to the site!!!

Here is a link to the Naval Historical Center that has some good pictures of Navy aircraft, as well as a lot of good reading. When you get there and look over these pics, you should go to their "home page" and troll through the links. They have some PFD's that are very information. USN...

I know I can buy that stuff, but I was thinking about it from another point of view. I was thinking freebie!!! Besides, I think that a plane skinned with an assortment of different brands of sodas (like a metal patch quilt) would be a one of a kind, or at least I have never seen one. After I...

Have any of you ever experimented with useing aluminum cola cans for modeling material. I cut up a few today, and after a while of messing with it, I could manipulate the thin aluminum pretty well. I may try to skin a model with some in the near future.

What county are you in???

Well down here in the Southern U.S., winter is a terrible time of the year. We don't get a lot of snow here. Winter percipitation usually comes in the form of an ice storm, and those are really nasty. The ice builds up on everything, and powerlines snap, trees break, and you can't drive on the...

It's a great time of year here in Arkansas DerAdlerIstGelandet. The temps range from highs in the mid 60's to the low 70's and lows in the mid 40's to low 50's (farinheight ofcouse). We sleep with the windows open at night, and look for excuses to get out into the sunshine during the day...

A Vought F4U Corsair would do just fine for me. Just for the record, I would credit the person that took this photograph, but the origin is unknown to me.

That's exactly the kind of stuff I need. Thanks Gunbird.

Well thanks Smokey and Lancaster. I guess I got so wrapped up in fetching B model Mustang stuff that I missed that information somewhere in the mix. Out of all of the technical things that I have downloaded, I only saw this configuration on drawings from Russian sites so I guess it kind of threw...

Take a look at the guns in the top right drawing. I came across this at a Russian site and I am curious about wether this was just an artist dreaming stuff up, or did the Russians really put guns like these on some of their Mustangs. Any opinions???

DerAdlerIstGelandet, Thank you for the greeting, and after looking around a bit, I can honestly say that I really like this site.

Thanks Flyboy. I have a couple of books on order now, and if they dont have a good cutaway view in either of them I know where to look. There is only one bookstore in my town and they don't have much shelf space dedicated to aviation. Mostly picture books of jets. I think I have just about...

Hi folks, I am looking for any technical drawings of the P-51 B for a giant scale model I am trying to build. I would greatly appriciate any and all help that you might be able to provide.

You wouldn't happen to have some of the same type of material for the P-51 B would you? I have searched high and low, but good "B" model Mustang technical pics are hard to come by.
