A fairly quite bench for the beginning of November:

1/72 RCAF C-47 Dakota is having its decals applied. Painting is all done.
1/144 HMCS Bonaventure has a cradle to prevent damage to the cat walks and netting. In looking at pictures there are many discrepancies between them and the drawings I have so as much as possible I will follow the pictures which mean several areas had to be dismantled for corrections. Regardless, the enjoyment continues on.

Floating in my head??
1/72 or 1/144 DHC4 Caribou
1/144 scale destroyer escort for the Bonnie

I am lookingh for cross section drawings of the AH-1G. It is the one Cobra with the glass landing light in front.

Unable to come up with a cross section Lou, but if you try here there what looks to be sections from the AH-1G AP notes that have been scanned and posted with a top view and lots of info on other aspects of the Cobra. Scroll down the page past the missing images and some pics then the AP starts. Apologies if you have already seen this.Regards Paul J.
