Hallo Thus, the report is a collection of facts. But it doesn't answer any of the burning questions. Who, what, or why the fuel supply levers were in the OFF position? According to the report, humans can be ruled out as the cause. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin in 2019 highlighting that some Boeing 737 fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged, the report said. The issue was not deemed an unsafe condition requiring an Airworthiness Directive - a legally enforceable regulation. The same switch design is used in Air India's VT-ANB aircraft which crashed. As the bulletin was advisory, Air India did not perform inspections. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79qrez8gqlo Or: Were there problems with the seat? As the famous hoax suggested? Or what? A seemingly unsolved case. But there are no coincidences! Happy modelling

Oh, do you know any Luftwaffe a/c with anti-glare panels? But most Luftwaffe a/c as Mannes by two or more crews had curtains! Whatever you look for. No Ju-88, Dornier 17/217 He-111/177 had anti-glare panels on the cowli gs inboatd. This is from US with pure metall nacells! Happy modelling

Hallo @Jase53, you are right. I oversaw this issue, since the kit decals have also the Marine version with dome! It was from my input, a flat inquiry, but I never had so confusing information as on this a/c! Happy modelling

Hallo Yes @Toryu, this is correct! Trainer only, maybe at the last time peride without overpainting to become operative in 1945. But nothing else! Happy modelling

Hallo Well, thank you for your praise. I will keep it in my mind for the future helicopters I will build. My modelling is now on a full stop, since I take an intensive language course on Chinese. Full time at university in my age. I am the very senior. But anyway, my Japanese helps me a little. Crazy things besides modelling! In September I will go on with modelling at full speed again. Happy modelling

Hello Some logical system thoughts: I would like to address a complete contradiction in the design requirements. It's a logical contradiction, evident from previous incidents. It only has to do with the requirements placed on the system suppliers. The client wants an unfulfillable wish to be realized. This is impossible to fulfill. It concerns the FADEC of the 787. Sensors (More than one) transmit data indicating whether the aircraft is on the ground or airborne. It works perfectly when all sensors are functioning correctly. If one or more sensors fail, making it impossible to clearly assign a ground/air status, the program must use the default value. There are only two possibilities: ground or air. The pilot is not allowed to intervene because of the autonomous system. He can not set the correct setting with a switch. During the ANA incident, the engine wouldn't shut down once already on ground. Perhaps the default was changed afterward? In any case, such an autonomous system is logically always subject to errors. Any sensor can fail. 3 sensors on the gear have as pattern the possibility: 0 0 0 or 1 1 1. For 0 1 0 / 1 1 0 / 0 1 1 etc., the default is drawn! That's the dilemma that exists. The sleeping wolf! It always bites! Happy modelling

Hallo This is an Osprey V-22B in 1/48 from the HobbyBoss kit. Decals from Leatherneck. Actually the built is straight forward. I used masks from NewWare and Reskit. The NewWare masks have an issue: The sealing is wrongly designed. The corners are sharp edged instead with a radius. The same sealing issue I had at the AH-1 also. The Reskit masks are in this case more correct, but also not correct. The sealing in the corner is a radius, but it does not meet the frame at the corner. So you have glass in between the radius at 45° and the corner! This little matter can spoil the outlook of the canopy! I decided to use this decals. The instruction for painting is weird. I had no clue what the topside looks like. The decal instruction does not meet the kit instructions anyway. I tried to get in contact with the person behind, but I failed. The website does not show any contact address, nor got my retailer an sufficient answer. I tried again with an email address I got, but returned was a mailer demon. I gave up and tried my best anyway. So you may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo The Z-19 is from the Trumpeter kit in 1/48. The built was actually more pleasant as the AH-1 from Special Hobby. The instruction are straight out, the instruction manual also. In the web you find enough pictures and information about this helicopter. So, I enjoyed the built. You may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo This AH-1 1/48 is from the Special Hobby kit. The built of this model was not so simple. The model by itself does not look difficult. During the built I had some fitting issues. Design issues too. But I tried to get a positive result. So you may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo Yes, @wellsprop, it is a hoax. But, if we analyse this report, it is not true, can it become true? Are the throttles that way configurated? If this is the case, it is the pattern of a furure accident! Analyze the words of a jester, something may be true! On the 787 there is so much speculation, related also from the fact that the operation manual is not available on the web! In opposition the 350 manual is online! Happy modeling

Hallo Is this true? https://punchng.com/pilots-faulty-seat-caused-air-india-crash-report-reveals/ Happy modelling
