That does not look like the Zvezda Su-50 kit I'm working on. I'll post a picture or two soon.

Apollo 18 was the mission number of the moon landing mission in James Mitchner's Space - in both the book and the miniseries. A side note. An Apollo 18 patch from the miniseries can be seen on Data's jacket in the movie Goonies. While this is a novel - not a movie - I'd like to also point out...

Here is the full wrap around cover image.

Didn't the floats have retractable gear?

My immediate impression on looking at that picture is that the aircraft was either a DC-9 or a C-9. That would indeed make it a huge hangar.

I found the passage. It was not in that book but in the Ian Huntley Column in Scale Aircraft Modelling, Volume 5 Number 2, November 1982 Page 86. I stand corrected on part of what I said as you will see in this quote.

Image . . .689 has a smaller vertical tail.

Are you mixing apples and oranges here? Aren't blimps and zeppelins two different things? My understanding is that blimps are non-rigid envelopes surrounding the gas bag or bags. Zeppelins or dirigibles are rigid airships with a structure supporting both the envelope and the gas bags. While the...

Re: AVX TX Is that Flying Humvee serious? I'm with the force fighting against the evil imperialist American invasion of Grand Finwicke and I see that thing coming in to land or just flying over to see what I'm doing - I'll fire my cannons at those fans on the wingtips. We may not have an air...

Just painting something black is not the answer. The night sky is not a true black. It may be the closest it will get to black if you are looking at it from a boat in the middle of an ocean but even there if a large black (truly black) object were to pass overhead while you were watching you'd...

I recall reading somewhere that there were problems with that internal carriage system - something about the train separating from the aircraft during the launch from the carrier deck.

I doubt it. For one thing, if it could be done I think the Smithsonian would have done it by now. As to my discs. Parts of the discs will not play on my player - at least as far as trying to access individual frames. I've not tried putting one in and just hitting play but what's the point of...

And then there is the problem that some of the technology does not age well. I own four of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum Photo Archive Laser Discs. They are becoming unplayable with age. All that wonderful information no longer available.

Those higher used copy prices are probably sourced in the title's history on ebay which is being sustained by those who have more money than sense and just have to have that book. A reason to be concerned is because this could eventually influence the pricing of new books. (The marketing...

This looks like part of that Highway In The Sky scheme they explored some time back. I'm sure that we are not ready for that. Just look at the way people act on the freeways then imagine those people at the controls of aircraft.

The T-4 looks fictional to me. I know it's a real (and flying) aircraft but it looks (to me) like something that escaped from an anime or a manga. That's not to say that I don't like it - I think it's a cool little airplane. A suggestion for your 76 Sqn image. Try hitting the roundel and the...

Some additional information on the early days of North American can be found here http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,7515.msg75950.html#msg75950 and in the following comments (within that thread).

I've seen these two aircraft discussed here so I think I'm okay posting these. Acrylic on canvas panel. These were fun little paintings to work on and yes, I do love dramatic front and back views of aircraft.

I think the best e bay deal I've gotten was Michael Whelan's Works of Wonder. The dealer listed it Buy It Now for $20.00 as used and she used the publisher's stock image of the cover art. As I was only looking for a copy to study his use of color while working on my paintings I figured it would...

Yes, that is the intake on the underside of that one.
