WOW, sounds like you're Dad was quite a hero! Thanks for sharing that.

My Dad was a pilot rescue man in the Crash Crew. He sure had some stories to tell. This coming Sunday the 31st, he will have been gone for 2 years and it is still almost impossible for me to believe. He wasn't just my Dad, he was my best friend and the one man I could always trust to steer me in right direction.

My buddy Steve was on the Forrestal as well as my buddy Marc!!! Small world!
:Confused:

[Hardway]

Awesome!!! Thanks for your Dad's service!!! My Dad was in WWII in the 3rd Army, 70th Division.... 2 Bronze Stars, one with V for valor... Combat for almost two years... Our folks are heroes!!! God Bless them all!!! :Cool:

Mine is still in the box!!! But love the paint. I have the T-45, so I went with the Arrow scheme to avoid paint on this one.... I had just finished my RNZAF A-4, and was not up for another paint job at the time!!! LOL

I'm really anxious to fly this one. I've always loved the orange and white schemes on the T-45's. I had to assign it to the USS Forrestal since that was the ship my Dad called home in 63/64.

Not really anything to jump and shout about. My 70mm Hawk. Still have yet to fly it.

FLT, Great detail and weathering.:Cool: I have always loved that aircraft and you've got me thinking I should add this to my wishlist. Best, LB

And the plane. lol.

[FLTpilot]

A Dynam Hawker Tempest. My first ever build. Added flaps and Castle BEC which interestingly, seems to have solved this Dynams gear problems. No failures... period!
Decals from Callie in 501squadron markings. Piloted by an American in the 40’s and an Acrs of Iron pilot in mine.

[Elbee]

SV, Truly beautiful work...Bravo Zulu, sir. Best, LB

Here is the bird with scale tanks and a few more decals. The placement of the flag on the back is correct for another aircraft in this squadron. I changed the tail paint scheme slightly from the original. The camo tanks are correct as referenced in two photos. I personally believe these tanks were temporary and were probably borrowed from another anniversary painted aircraft in this squadron.
