Looks like it was reconfigured for NASA..... they tend to do that with airframes.

I bet if you looked around hard enough online you may find more info on it. That paint scheme tells me it was a demonstrator. Try searching for the tail number. WHile not a complete one it will aid in the search..... 71-290

You did a really good job with getting that nose art decal to lay flat. I always seemed to have issues with multi curved panels like that. Looks pretty good man.

Thanks for posting this, I added his page to my book marks. He has way too much usefull infor and techniques for one days worth of reading!

Almost as bad as Somali pirates trying to board a French Naval vessel thinking it was a frieghter... lol

Figured I'd give this thread a bump instead of starting a new one... I recently got hooked hard into this game. http://www.worldoftanks.com/ You take command of an American, German or Soviet tank and crew during the second world war. Start in a light scout tank and work, train and research...

Pre-shading was recovered with NATO green. I raided my wifes scrapping scissors set for one that would cut out waves that I used for the stencil. The stencil was attached with rolled tape that held it just a little bit off of the surface. This gave it a little bit of overspray and helped...

Specificly about the Doolittle raid? Or other WW2 literature as well?

I had the honor of meeting one of these men years ago when I was still in high school..... though honestly I do not remember which one he was.

It is an original designe that borrows a bit from the Abrams..... think of it as they built this tank around the Abrams weapon and armor system.

Chromate green was more than just a color. It is an extremely durable and thick primer that etches itself into the metal. Some of the oldest aircraft I worked on rolled off the production line in '68. The chromite was painted onto the entire interior of the aircraft. Most all of it is covered by...

I just noticed in one of your pics the detail on the floor..... is that no skid I see molded into it? You gonna mask and paint all of those.... I'll send you a bottle of crown down to help with the process..... ;)

You started with the ordinance....... I like you already!...

What nations markings come on the decal sheet? It is kinda nice to have a heavy lifter that can be painted and marked for another country. The coolest paintjob I have seen on one of those so far has to be Qatar. I am not sure if it is for their Air Force or a civilian transport however.

Just a little bumpdate... Completed the troop compartment the other night... primed the main sub assemblies and have done a base coat, preshade and will hopefully get the camo done this evening/weekend. I am thinking I will do the bottom in duckegg blue for a countershade. Or rather Tamiya's...

Sorry if this has been stated elsewhere.... but is that main gun tube part of the kit or aftermarket? Looking good so far.
