Welcome to the boards and the delicate art of scale modeling.

All of it is applicable to WWII aircraft modeling. I think you'll find some useful...
Guys, I'm pretty sure it was a metaphor. :)

Thanks again,

Wise and Sagely Warbird Experten,
I'm working on a scale modeling project right now. Anyone have any links showing the precise location of the Dora's fuselage fuel tanks and filler caps?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thank You,
Kenny

My name's Kenny. I'm a WWII warbird enthusiast. I also serve as (2LT) aircrew in the USAF AUX-CAP flying SAR, CD, and HS sorties. Low and slow is where we go. :)
At any rate, I stumbled upon this excellent resource for my other interest: Scale model...
