I built the model in high school :) then as now I see certain old warplanes really should be graded as flying works of art and all restoration societies get full benefit of that fact. There are few twin engine jobs that give me the “masterpiece” feeling, and this is one.

Didn’t know about the wing problem. It still looks so slick it looks like it’s upgraded puppy might be out kicking ISIS’ ass, mopping up after the A-10s. Depleted uranium is expensive, I do believe.

But you have to allow the pilots to have the option of wearing the old fashioned gear and leather jackets, if they choose. The morale quotient must abey the negatives ;)
