fuselage

I have read a number of histories of the Avro Shackleton that state that the Shackleton had a wider fuselage than the Lancaster / Lincoln to give more room for the increased electronics fit plus extra room for the crew on the longer patrol missions. Question. Does anyone have any data on...

Hi guys! My next build will be this fine Japanese fighter and I'm going to show wips of the construction throughout the process. Here is the photo of the plane I'm going to represent. According to my references the paint scheme goes as follows: -cockpit color=aotake -interior fuselage...

This is a picture that is hanging in the Cradle of Aviation Museum that shows Roosevelt Field in the early part of last century. Can anyone ID the plane I circled in Red? Very curious looking. Oh, and another odd duck I circled in blue off to the right. Must be one of Mr Burnelli's early...

Sorry about the error in the title: It should say P-39! I found this s picture when researching the U.S.Army in the North African Campaign. It was listed as a P-38 wreck but I think it is a P-39 Airacobra. I wondered if it is a Spitfire wreck but I'm leaning towards a P-39. It doesn't look...

Howdo guys. Building the Revell 1/48th B17G and was wondering if anyone has really close up pictures of the trailing antenna/aerial ? This is located on the underside of the fuselage just past the ball turret, need to add this to my model. Thanks. Ian.

Me and my mate Mick managed to get to the RAF Museum, Cosford yesterday, to take advantage of the open days of the Sir Michael Beetham Conservation Center, open (free, to Museum Members, and to the general public for a £5 donation), for three hours per day, for one week only. Last year, we were...
