Not sure if I say I'm sorry or something more to the happy side. Been there done that but I'm been married to the present Mrs Phillips for 37 years now, plan on going to the grave first, at the rate I'm going, she'll send me there fist and it will be justified!

 

[SaparotRob]

Strange thing is we've never been happier together than now.

It'll never fly, it will burn up

That is high temperature cardboard, I assume.

 

[Wurger]

IMHO this depends on the fuel brand, a making model guy can refuel.

 

[Zippythehog]

And gaps in finish are acceptable if built with the gear down.

 

[Lucky13]

Which is better of the two?

But you have to put scale drip pans under it then.

 

[MIflyer]

New from Squadron in 1/72. No doubt the resemblance between the two aircraft is a sheer coincidence, form following function and so forth.

 

[MIflyer]

And now new kits in 1/48 from Squadron:

For years the only 1/48 Hurricane was the old Monogram Mk II. Now I have not only a few of those but also the Airfix release, and now this from Hobbyboss.

Remember when drone kits were popular? Neither do I. Maybe it is now.

Drip pans not used, Jp-8 came out in jellied globs and was swept into the drain, AH, the good old day, your Air Force at work. (We don't need not stinking EPA)

The one I saw at Edwards had drip pans. Of course, it was in a hangar.

In the good old days if they needed to defuel an F-89 or something at a rural base in someplace like AK they just parked it off the hardtop and opened the tank drains.

Well to be honest the only time I was close up was preflight/launch at Det 1 Kadena and that as I say was ready to launch. A former chief I worked for invited me over for the launch. At that point no drip pans involved, jet taxied out and they used shop brooms and squiggles to flush it in the drain.
