Hope to revisit later this year and take photos of the two A6E. We were there the week the new hangar was supposed to open...just to find out opening had been delayed by an Admiral who could not come until a week later. He forbid entry until it was officially opened. The closest we got was looking at the rear of the A6E's through a side window. __________________ Ed http://www.flitemetal.com http://www.mac-models.com   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search  Web    Stachel Basic Member Joined: June/06/2004 United States Posts: 173 IP Logged Posted: January/23/2019 at 2:04pm  Quote   Those turnbuckles were to help fold the wings for storage.  Crazy slow process, especially compared to the Grumman Avenger, fully powered. It's one of the best museums in the world.  I hope to get back there soon. __________________ Lyle Lamboley Clearwater, FL Building: Roy Scott 1/6 scale BE2e   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search    Fairchild24R46 Site Supporter Joined: June/19/2016 United States Posts: 14 IP Logged Posted: April/29/2021 at 9:38am  Quote   I was given a 1/6 scale Vindicator just yesterday.  It's about 80% done but will need to be finished.  I suspect, but I don't know for sure, it was built from plans.  It came with a lot of documentation however, it's not enough to complete the model.  As soon as I get a chance I'll post some photos of it.   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search    p51a Site Supporter Joined: July/29/2011 United States Posts: 626 IP Logged Posted: April/29/2021 at 10:07am  Quote   Yes, please.
