    Would it be possible to convert Tamiya's Betty to a G4M2 or 3???

    I'm just wondering? Could this be done. Fuselage would need some serious surgery and it would need different shaped engine nacellers and a larger tailfin. But the G4M2/3 also had a redesigned wing with a thicker profile and different airflow. I have no idea how different the wing is of a...

    RCAF CF-104 'Starfighter', 1/48th scale.

    CF-104 '771', RCAF No3 Wing, Zweibrucken, November 1964. Cory's recent question regarding CF-104 decals has given me the jolt I needed to get back to the bench after such a long absence due to pain and stiffness in the shoulder. Since I had an injection in the troublesome area a fortnight ago...

    Why no wing armament for the Ki-43?

    One thing that has always puzzled me is why no wing guns were ever mounted on the Ki-43. It's not like the IJAAF didn't know how - both the Ki-44 and Ki-61 had wing armament from the beginning and they were in production within a year to a year and a half of the Ki-43 going into service. I...

    Satan's Son F-6C

    I was looking at a picture that I have of the F-6C mustang Satan's Son 42-103622 AX-G. It was in Belgium spring of 1945. I was trying to figure out if it also had a black stripe on the elevator and the wing or if it was just the wing.

    Beaufighter wing guns

    Looking at the Beaufighter wiki page, I noticed the fighter command version had 4x.303 mg in the starboard wing and 2x.303 mg in the port wing. Was the unequal amount of guns because of a fuel cell that took up the space?

    Would it have been cheaper to....

    One of the major advantages to the P-51 was the laminar flow wing. So, instead of developing a whole new plane, would it have been cheaper to just put that wing on a P-40 and also given the same upgraded engines the P-51 had ? Would that big chin of the Warhawk still be a hindrance?
