Combat Warplanes / Blunt-nose Starfighter
« on: March 21, 2006, 09:59:58 PM »
Last Saturday I found this very peculiar photo of an F-104 Starfighter with a blunt nose. I have never seen such a variant and it could be a photo-montage. Any ideas about this version and what its purpose was??

Combat Warplanes / Nord Griffon
« on: February 05, 2006, 09:16:59 PM »
Here are some details shots of the Nord Aviation 1500 Griffon no.2 as presently exhibited in the Musée de l' Air at Le Bourget, France. Details show Griffon symbol, nose details and details of main wheel bay and nose wheel.
I know of two model kits of the Griffon 02: the 1/72 Airmodel vacform kit and the 1/48 scale Fonderie limited run injection model kit.
I have the first kit, the Fonderie kit will have to wait!

Combat Warplanes / Cosford addition
« on: November 20, 2005, 03:13:47 PM »
I noted the nice pictures taken at the Cosford aviation museum. I visited this collection some 20 years ago and I really enjoyed it!

I still can remember having seen a Messerschmitt Me-410 standing outside. Is it still part of the collection?

Attached one of the shots I took in 1985!

Aircraft Modeling / 1/72 models of prototypes
« on: November 18, 2005, 06:50:05 PM »
These are some models I have built of protoypes or lesser known aircraft types:
-Grumman X-29 from Hasegawa (excellent model!)
-Ryan FR-1 Fireball from Pegasus (with needeg quite a lot of attention since NOTHING really fitted very well!)
-Norhrop XP-56 Black Bullet from Czech Model(this is a 1/72 scale model' Chech Model also has a 1/48 scale kit!)

I fully realize my models will never be prize winners, but the are at least esoteric types!
