Jim, that's for sure. Slog, the seat/cockpit turned out great. You'd be surprised how much of the black paint wears off, since the seat is a sometime work platform for a crewchief. Looking forward to see how you continue. Navy jets always looked beat, since the corrosive environment they lived in, needed a lot of grease and oil for protection. When we'd use Air Force jets in similar environments, they'd need a trip to the wash rack soon after coming home to remove the salt. Most newer jets have the parachute built into the seat. We had similar Martin Baker seats in the Phantom. Made you lean forward too much. TheF-15/16 seats have more of a lean back attitude, especially the F16.

I see model railroaders fall all over themselves, attempting to recreate the "box car red" of a certain actual railroad. There are so many nuances, so why kill yourself. Most shops painted the cars with what supplies they had on hand that day, very similar to what sailors did in painting their ships. They'd have a base paint, and add x amount of a tint color to achieve the "official" color. Field repaints of aircraft would probably be unique to the base they were at. How accurately was the paint mixed to the formula? I like your mottle Craig, and I'd be really impressed with the black and white striped Albatros. WWI fighters can be so colorful, compared to the dull schemes of today.

Can't like that situation, OC. Medical stuff needs fast action or like Craig said, it could get worse. Hope you're feeling better, soon.

Roger, take a look at "Shattered Sword", an account written by 2 Americans, Parschall and Tully, about the Battle of Midway and published in 2005. It is much later research, gaining access to more and better after action reports. It goes into detail on both sides, although looking deeper into the Japanese doings. Delves into big differences in the training and combat doctrines of both sides.

Reminds me a little of Dusty Springfield, too. I vaguely remember that band. C'mon, late 60s college?? NYC FM rock stations were very eclectic in their playlists back then, especially the late , very lamented WNEW=FM 102.7. Very laid back DJs, like Scott Muni, Roscoe and Alison Steele - the Night Bird. <Sigh>

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
