David Womby Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I just found this.

Your book and blog are, of course, the main reference sources for the B and I checked there first. That website also has a pic of 151973 after its crash. BTW, I am building the old Revell TFX as 151970 at rollout and have some questions: what colour were the leading edges - gloves, wings and tailplanes? Do we know?
