Now that is one stunning piece of Mach 3 master craftsmanship. I have the AMT one in my stash, I would love to build it. Think its time to evict the daughter so I can have her room to display it :wacko:

Thanks everyone, so many kind comments, I really appreciate them all!

Nev,1) funnily enough ....umm ...no...,(actually I've just finished a smallish whif if you'll pardon the expression!! which I will post as soon as Colin gets round to sending me a few addon bits he's promised me!!,

2) Luckily I have a VERY understanding 'better half' who has allowed me to take over the garage conversion and fit it out as a suitable 'retreat/ den/ toyroom/ playpen/'whatever he gets up to' room...............Once the B-36,  B-52 and RC-135  are finished .............well I'm in serious trouble!!!!!! :banghead:


Wes, correct the serial number 71-2095 was carried over from the end of the B-58 run from ten years previously, taking into account development and procurement time, plus upgrade to C model status I felt that might be a fair  guesstimate...also I have some reference material that states that the planned entry to service date for the B-70A/RS-70 was to be 1968 so that kind of ties in with this time frame.....

Geoff, funnily enough I was thinking of using the paraffin pigeon for just that purpose. ;D...................................next question ....which table will have any room left to display it!!!

Chris, set the wheels in motion.................................priorities man, a copy of the Evening Echo should sort things out .... :wacko:


Thanks again folks.... :cheers:
