Presenting Bryan 'tuck' Tucker's B-42

[jcf]

One he completed a few weeks back.

In Tuck's own words "finished as a Korean War Night harassment bomber. Fast, available, easily converted to a nuisance role."

I had to ask if his line about "...easily converted to a nuisance role." was in reference to the real airplane or the model kit.

Cheers, Jon

Nice build, always loved the ship.

A few questions, tho.  I don't think the USAF were using the tailcode system as early as Korea & when did the TAC shield come into play?  And the stars 'n' bars would most likely be red for a Korean war example with the upper wing item on the port wing, not starboard.

At first sight, I thought it was a retread for Vietnam or later.

Regards,

Wonderful, what scale is it? Is it the Anigrand kit?

I second both paragraphs and add:
WWWOOOOOOWWW

To be strictly correct for Korea, the aircraft should have a "buzz number", something in the B-series, if we're being picky.  It looks good, though.

Looks pretty cool to me...see ignorance is bliss I like the double bubble look of the canopies.
