1/48 Hobbycraft Bell YP-59A-BE Airacomet RJ362/G
Julien replied to Julien's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
NACA laboratory at Cleveland had some, and some were based at Wright Field. -
Bell YP-59A-BE Airacomet/42-108773 Swapped for the first production Gloster Meteor I and assigned RAF serial number RJ362/G seen at RAE Farnborough in 1943. This is the Hobbycraft kit which I picked up at the Gloucester model show. Apart from some replacement wheel hubs (lost the originals!), the pitot tube on the tail (not in the kit) and a set of generic seat belts you can hardly see the rest is out of the box. Good kit to build which went together reasonably well. Kit serials, roundels and fin flash from xtradecal sheets and xtracrylix for the paint.

Julian, after composing a lengthy reply to another poster in the Barnato Hassan thread I set up, I went to save it and the save function failed.
This is not the first time it has happened to me whilst replying to a post.
Does it time out of someone takes too long typing a reply.?
if I try to do it again I fear that it will happen again.
It's really frustrating having spent a half hour or more composing a reply to have it wiped out when I press the function to save it. Would you look into this please and advise if there is a way around this problem.
Thanks and regards
Noel Smith

Good news / bad news

USAF Serial 23071 which was built for the French Air Force is now restored by volunteers at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum in markings of the 81st TFW. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF Museum, and was formally at Tangmere. BCWM received it in 2018. The aim was to refresh it and put it back on display. However corrosion in the airframe turned out to be mush more than expected, and along with covid delays its now only finished.

was hoping you could persuade someone to do this as well as the A

The dielectric panel on the T-33 is only on the top of the nose The lower nose is actually stainless steel ! I have seen some museum aircraft where they have painted a second panel for some reason??

seems to flare out more at the back
