SR-71 Blackbird

No, but Heller has reboxed the KC-135A (you'd need different decals to build it as a KC-135Q) under their brand, and has released a C-135FR based on the AMT KC-135R kit - it would just be a matter of leaving a few parts off and finding USAF decals to build it as a KC-135T.

Exactly half a flight, to be precise...

If you ever get to the Seattle area, the Seattle Museum of flight has the surviving M-21 with a D-21 mounted on top. It's impressive : )

Smaller than a B-52 in that scale. Any help? I had one for awhile but sold it on when it was obvious that I didn't have 'that much' room for all the biggies (if I did manage to throw them together, a big 'if'). I think the fuselage was close to 2 feet long but I can't say about the wings as I left them packed in.

Floquil used to have a model railroad colour called Locomotive Black that'd be a good thing to look for. Intensely black steam engines don't look right either. Were it still available I'd recommend Pactra's Hot Rod Primer for the afterburner cans. That was a great colour and Testors should be ashamed for dropping it. I used to use a lot of it for aircraft tires, machine guns (before gunmetals were available), etc. Heck, I even painted a Lincoln that colour then glossed it. Looked great on a luxury auto.

DC, I went and had a trawl through my FSMs in the storage shed.... the one you want is the April 96 issue, with the Yugoslav AntiAircraft tank on the cover (those crazzee Yugos...!). The article is 'International Color And Camouflage' by Les Dorr Jr. Worth it for the history lesson alone... and some pics of NASA birds you may not have seen. I think I saw a decal listing there as well (bonus!!).

And they're both big bits of plastic...

While you're at it then, have a look at Paul Boyer's YF-12 conversion article in FSM - you found the ref somewhere above...

Then the question becomes: the comicbook version, or the movie version?

Are you going to chrome one as Princess Amidala's spaceship?

Well, there are a lot more of them. *Some* are bound to be useful.

Did I misspell that? I meant the Star Wars Episode 1 royal starship.

I was going to say, the book _The Art of X-Men 2_ has a good couple of pages on that film's version. If you can find the old Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe comic, they have a schematic drawing under the X-Men entry. It's crude, but shows the changes you'd have to make to the general outline.

I think it was - I didn't look it up in the stash. Makes for an interesting version of the beast.
