Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Anyone have a Photo of the Intake duct on an F-102 ? I know the forward sections are aluminum skin/paint but i need the deeper areas right by the J-57 face ? The instructions call for Zinc chromate green on the bulkhead ? But im thinking aluminum/lt gray/white in this area ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm now too tried to do anything been up since 4am to watch that rotten moon disappear! Whoever did the scheduling for that needs a good talking to! 9pm is a much more civilised time to watch things like that....and not as cold!! On to subject......I had a better look at the Heller AMX.......now I'm really scared! You have to build the hull up and it all warped!! So much for that being a simple build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A heavy thunderstorm put paid to any idea of seeing the moon in my wee corner of Scotland but some spectacular lightning was a fine compensation. Edited July 27, 2018 by Col.

Thanks for posting it. As for complaining about the weather; aww hell no! I love a good lightning storm Was cycling home from work and got a front row seat to a few good flashes buried in the clouds then sat at the window for a couple hours enjoying the show as it passed by. 1 minute ago, Enzo Matrix said: I like complaining...

Cycling in general round here can feel like an extreme sport some days when playing with the traffic but was on a titanium frame so that doesn't act as a good lightning conducter. Does it!?!

trickyrich Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 After yesterdays horror building day today's was awesome....even with a head cold. It was so good that I could help myself and went shopping!!! With the AMX-13 DCA in the naughty corner and soon to be the bin I have a new project for this GB. With all those pesky low flying NATO aircraft rushing around and disturbing the peacefulness of the Communist dream, I've decided to do something about it. An evil beast to fix them will soon appear on the horizon.....or when the postman decides to show up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
