Not exactly toxic but you do run the risk of the Memsahib giving birth to lots of tiny Martians. The normal number of births at a time is about twenty.

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Working on the details, which often sends me back to photographic references, I realized I had missed the antenna mast and wires. This type of tall mast located at the aft restroom bulkhead is associated with Western Electric radios. I have only two other photos of planes with the same antenna, a NAT machine and Ford NS1, a Department of Commerce machine for which, no matter how many hours I spent searching, I only found one bad photo. It seems to be a beautiful example, with some small notes of color. I have added the control cables from the front of the plane to the wing, fabricated a crank for the open mail hold, and prepared the above-mentioned antenna. I think the radio worked with "Toilet Energy"®(@Martian patented it) 8 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I just found two more images of NS1, one in the exceptional Bill Larkins publication "The Ford Trimotor 1926-1992", and another online on Alamy Stock (of really bad quality). It is described as a "Club" model, that is with some additional luxuries at the cost of some seats. Pity no colors for it are stated anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given my profession, retired Officer of Customs and Excise, the toffe apples have now been liberated what you didn't know is that my kid brother, Little Martian is Governer of Negato and is evem more corrupt than Kang.

Martian 👽 In order to preserve interplanetary peace and harmonious relations, The Secretary-General of the United Worlds of the Solar System has decided to overlook this effrontery and allow Martian shipments of toffee apples (and only toffee apples) to Negato and to Martian's relatives on any world on which they may abide. However, this "red line" in space must not be crossed, or serious repercussions will follow! And for your information, the medical technology of the United Worlds has long surpassed the rubber glove stage. I suppose rubber gloves (tentacle gloves?) are still used on Mars, but how does one tell when a Martian has bent over? They all look the same from any angle. Anyway, the current crisis has been averted, so I now relinquish control of this channel back to the builders of plastic models. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
