Thanks guys. I actually have one of the new Savage kits on order. I saw Paul Boyer's build and it looks sweet. And big.   :)

 

Cheers,

That's why carrier captains didn't like them - big, leaky, and maintenance-heavy. But they could carry a nuclear bomb, and that's all the Navy wanted. At least it was better than that loony P2V-3C (take off from the deck, then ditch after your mission and hope somebody's left that can pull you out of the water!).

 

Best Regards,

Or just ride it down like Slim Pickens.    :)

Either way your chances were about the same!
