Very nice. The last post needs to come with a viewer discretion warning for Terry.

It looks like they are deciding which fuel tanks and armor to put in or take out.



N3N-3 BuNo 2920 is still on the civil register after it's military time. How many modelers can tell us the last military unit equipped with these and what year they
were finally struck off charge?
