I have a great idea for a LARGE SCALE build. How about a 1/6 scale Dragon M4A3 Sherman (I actually have one) Ron G

And how long would it take to actually have a working one that is proven and passes all the regulations? And it is still a nuclear reactor.

Check this out it's my Checkertail P-47 Razorback build. I did the cockpit with Vallejo dull dark green, which is what Republic used. Zink chromate green in the interior, wheel wells etc.

All electric cars would be great, BUT the amount of coal, water power or nuclear power or what ever to make enough electricity to power them would pollute more then the gasoline cars they are trying to replace. Also how long would it take the government to put up enough charging stations across the US that would compare to gas stations that exist today. So your electric car would be sitting in your garage waiting for them to be built so you could take a trip from say Michigan to Florida to vist your parents. I'll stick with my gas guselling beast and let my grand kids worry about electric vehicles.

Hey Nige I watched your YouTube videos on how to make the Airscale IP set. One question how long should the toggle switches be sticking out from the surface of the panels, both sizes the.15mm & .33mm ones? Ron G -

WOW! Nige That IP and other panels look amazing. The interior of your Lank is going to be a real show winner. Now if I can just get these old arthritic hands and blind eyes to work I might be able to come close to your work...lol Watched your videos on how to do it they are really good. Ron G -

Hey Nige I have been thinking, is it still possible for you to do a video or post pictures of your improvements with some dimensions. You know how us engineering types are can't do anything without a proper set of plans (blueprints). Especially the instrument panel support, the floor for the pilot seat and how much to add to the navigators table, etc. I know I would greatly appreciate it, and I bet many others would too. Ron G -
I must be crazy, B-24J on the bench.

Hey 1to1 When you get around to building your landing gear watch out for this area on the main gear. It's a weak point and needs to be reinforced. I wish Aeroscale would make those parts out of brass it would resolve the issue. This is what I did to fix mine, it's not prototypical but it works. -

Hey all Got my radios from Resin2detail, they are really nice pieces. I got 1 set for the B-24j and 1 for my B-25j. I think I'm going to order a set of those turrets just to see if I can use them to fix the clear parts from my B-24j kit parts.
