Re: HM Request for model suggestions

That is awsome. What did you do for NASA flyxwire?
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

I was a rocket scientist! Seriously, I was just a pee-on intern working on various projects and then some.

Re: HM Request for model suggestions

That is still cool man. Not many people can say they worked for NASA.

Re: HM Request for model suggestions

Very cool, and I'll second your suggestions for the Grumman F3F-1 and Boeing F4B-4 - should have included them on my list in the first place.

What do you think of the Curtiss Helldiver from the movie KING KONG? I read Peter Jackson faithfully copied the ones he used for his movie based on the original 30s flick.

Re: HM Request for model suggestions

Ooh, an original Curtiss Helldiver would make for a nice HM model. As far as I know, the ones used in King Kong were 1:1 nonflying replicas. I wonder where they are now?

Re: HM Request for model suggestions

Yeah the Curtiss Helldiver could be a whole series including the WWII versions. I would love to know if they saved the Helldivers form the movie.

....Not many people can say they worked for NASA.

Why not?....I tell people that all the time,...especially if they don't buy my "former Top Gun instructor" story...
