I have an RA-5C in the stash, this may be the way to build it!  :thumbsup:

What colors are those on the USN craft?? Is that like... dark green and ...uhh.. grey??  Bluish grey maybe?

The colours in the photo are way off (especially in that one where the camo looks like European One).

Topside colours for camo'd RA-5C were IRL the standard USAF TAC SEA colours, Tan FS30219 / Medium Green FS34102 / Dark Green FS34079, though the bottom was not the USAF Camouflage Grey FS36622, but the Navy standard Gloss White FS17875 (topside camo was simply painted on top of the Navy standard FS36440 Light Gull Grey, bottom was left in its original colour).

(Do note that the first digit in the FS code only denotes the finish - 1=gloss, 2=semi-gloss/satin, 3=flat, so 36440 and 16440 are in fact the same colour but one is flat and one is gloss).

It's crazy how many museums and preserved a/c have crappy, fake and just outright wrong finishes. You'd think they'd seek council before 'going for it' eh !

A good example is the restored Sepecat Jaguar GR1 ACT. What they painted it up in is nowhere near what it actually had. The gripe though is there's many photos on the internet (and in books. magazines) that show what it was really painted like.

My pappy, god rest his soul, was like that. You both, MacGyver, and Indiana Jones, I swear man...   ;D ;D     They don't bother me too much, now, spiders on the other hand..... .  ..

Same here... although i relax after i see where they're going, sometimes i get some good scares from the Mediterranian Tarantulas and Striped Wolf spiders when working on flowerbeds and areas with dense vegetation. No danger as they're not too poisonous but they just creep up when you're not expecting... Once had one walking up the back of my neck and didn't know it was a spider, so i just reached back like it was a leaf or rubbish of the sort, and grabbed it and it didn't even try to bite me... When i looked at my glove to see what it was, it was a female Tarantula starting to get angry, as big as the palm of my hand... that's when i got scared and chills ran through my body, making me throw it away into a nearby flowerbed... :rolleyes: ;D
One of these babies...



Here you can see their normal size, same as the one i had on my neck...



Big enough for me... :rolleyes:

I WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE!!! Just.. DONE.  ;D ;D ;D   

I've gotten to the point I can tolerate some of the little harmless ones... I won't even try to smash them if they are in the house... but... they get bit, poisonous, or nasty, and I flip out.

I saw a BIG one the other day at work.. between the size of a baseball and a softball, just sitting on the wall.


It was the same day I found those ducks.  ;D


EDIT: And what's the deal with this ... THING.... it either has 10 legs or those are some might big fangs up front there.. or ... antennas or..... something.

Beautiful thing... i do find them fascinating but i'd rather have them far from me. Those "legs" you've mentioned are the pedipalps, smell and taste sensors. Males also use them to copulate... ;D

YEEEEBUS! 

Is this also a variety of tarantula? That's what I called it but I'm not sure what "makes" a tarantula. I just see one hell of an over sized spider that looks like a tarantula so it's a "tarantula."  Close enough to the ones that I know for a fact ARE tarantulas. I should have gotten a closer picture but uhhhh.... NAH ...... there'll be none of that. I didn't get within 20 feet of it.  :o ;D

I pick up garbage in a couple of field type areas... I know that where these came from... I had a notion to obliterate this thing but it wasn't bothering me any and probably eats a lot of other bugs that I really hate. I just...man..... the thought of picking up a scrap of newspaper out in a field and this thing is attached to the underside....  eCH    :o :o :o :o
