Mike Chernecki Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I built these when I was a kid. I had to replace them as an adult. I had one of those. Thanks, I have been trying to remember what it was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I was thumbing through this thread and noticed I put up some eggplanes I had on the bench. Thought I would throw the finished result up. Lot of darned hard work for such easy little kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've read that F-16's have a fantastic roll rate. In fact, they roll over easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang onto that one! Man, if you could get something that shape to fly, imagine the room in that thing. 12 seats across at the widest, with room to spare. Yeah, it'd be a hundred feet tall....

Pete J. Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Oh, yea, the super guppy. Designed to haul parts of the Saturn launch system. Of course a C-5 and the Airbus 380 aren't far off Just a side point. Aerodynamically the egg doesn't work in aircraft because of induced drag and the area rule. That is, drag at any cross section of an aircraft is directly proportional to the area of that cross section. This is why many high speed aircraft have a Coke bottle shape. Aerodynamicists pay a great deal of attention to the area rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Maybe this one, that the fe-mail carrier delivered yesterday. 1/72 "Haunebu" (proposed) Nazi flying saucer. A snap-kit but a pretty complex one, since it has full interior detail. From a Korean company I'd never heard of, Hand & Head Models. I think they also do a George Adamski flying saucer in 1/48 scale. Ordered this one from Amazon, $45.00 including shipping. It arrived in about a week and a half from South Korea. I'm just glad they didn't name it the "Haune-bu-bu." That would annoy me... Edited January 22, 2016 by Mike999 Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Got one of those myself. Kind of rare as they only came in McDonalds Happy meals that were served to kids on United's flights. Hang onto that one!Never knew the origins of it, just saw it waaaaaaay back a long time ago hanging from a string in a toy shop and wished I could have it, while my sister was standing nearby. On impulse, she asked a store clerk how much he would sell it for, and (if I remember right), he made up a 69 cent figure out of thin air, cut it off the string and sold it to her for exactly that price. Then she gave it to me. So it has a particular keep-it-forever value to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
