Re: the "bomber"

I can't remember the rudder set-up, but I do remember mine had the greenhouse nose. Must have been a B-24 then. I went through a phase of building model planes. Much fun. My faves were a P54 Mustang and a Fokker triplane. And I agree with squirrelykat: there are definitely worse things you can waste your time with.

Well, I made a biplane for Snoopy once. Or was it for the Red Baron. I think the latter...

The Fokker was the Red Baron's, all red with the iron crosses on the wings.

I looked into the depths of my hobby room today--I actually have a partially-built B-24 model in its box. I got it because my condo complex was, I was told, built in WW II to house the bomber plant workers (I have also been told it was built after the war). I told people it was "Rosie the Riveter's old house. In fact, I think I have some original art a guy did for me on that theme. I'll have to see if I can find it and scan it in.

My dad's favorite was the P-51 Mustang. I actually still have a little 1/72 Fokker Triplane stored in a box. I should find a place to display it.
