Canute Posted November 19, 2021 #274 Posted November 19, 2021 I'm with the guys. Tuck the Wokka in the back of a hangar bay with pieces removed. Most places in SEA had hangar queens, which were cannibalized for keeping the other jets flying. One of ours was named Marcia, after our maintenance officer. Even think she named it. 😃 Did not realize you'd applied your decals over flat paint. Big oops. mate. This hangar queen dio will make up for it. mtaylor, lmagna, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

Yes indeed Ken, I had no gloss to hand and was eager to get her finished - so I did the naughty deed and put them down on the flat paint work. OC.

mtaylor Posted November 19, 2021 #276 Posted November 19, 2021 OC, if this will help, here's some CH-53 photos from 'Nam. They usually were quite faded and the markings chipped and faded. Only museum birds look clean and shiny and the ones the Generals flew on. As for a 'hanger queen"... engines would have been pulled, windows, doors, access panels.... anything a mech could get to without a cutting torch to get the parts they needed.

Old Collingwood Posted November 19, 2021 Author #278 Posted November 19, 2021 Folks I have scrapped this - its currently in the bin, it started just having far too many problems I went to do the rotor heads and one of the rear leg oleo's broke away where it had bee repaird before, it wouldn't glue back, then one of the windows fell inside and could not be rescued due to the internal framing, just too many issues so I binned it. No worries it was one of those builds taht went wrong so many different ways.. But I have started something else - OC.

Sad but probably a good decision; some stuff just doesn't work out and moving on to a fresh adventure is better. Building a stunning Hood will more than compensate.
