Wouldn't call it a "bumbling error", possibly an "oversight" or a "missed opportunity", or even "not where I was going with this".

Hi Old Wombat!

That's a GREAT point you made!  I completely overlooked it at the time!!!  I guess I was too involved keeping the "Corsair look" in my drawings and made this bumbling error!  Thanks for pointing it out!!!

2nd #A330MRTT for the Multinational MRTT Fleet (MMF) programme did its maiden flight last week.

Given the problems the KC-46A has and Boeing's ongoing problems, perhaps the USAF (and US Congress) should reconsider and purchase some KC-45s after all.

Hi, Chuck!

Obviously the F4U FTB's are using inline engines, so would they need the big round front of the aircraft?

I'd suggest slimming down the top of the nose (gives the pilot a better view for carrier op's) & put a radiator further back under the prop.

Test beds could be modified from the firewall forward, after all the rear has already been extensively modified for the engine, anyway. So, why not go whole hog?

Good thinking Mr GTX and it aligns with how a blitz GB usually goes.

The idea is post a start pic with a clock and then a few updates and final pics with the clock.

The posts themselves can serve as a time-stamp as well. Usually things are pretty loose because no "winners" are chosen. One wins by completing their model within the blitz.

Extra points for posting your snacks, beverages and/or lunch.

I once blitzed a kit that was so horrid I was tempted to post pics of the pharmaceuticals I'd need to finish it.

I like your alt. Corsairs, Chuck!

The classic Navy blue one just does it for me.

That's a nice stealth mod to the Bearcat. I had to look close to catch it.

Well done, apophenia! Yet another art work that could fool the "experts".
