IFR? I Follow River?

Could be I Follow Roads.
I was alittle surprised some years ago to find that when Army helicopters went between bases in Georgia they followed US and GA highways.
They still do.



And aircraft landing at Mines Field (now LAX) follow Century Boulevard all the way in to touchdown about Sepulveda.

Probably cut them all to whatever the longest length was for one kit and used that stock in all kits - more is probably better than less in the box, :wink: :wink:

Not buying it; everything's too straight!

BTW, you should be getting a small box of stuff soon, if not today. You wanted those spring loaded clowns, right?

One thing they don't mention in the destructions:

Be clever and frame the carbody as an open box and again the cupola. You need to access inside after you paint and weather it (so both roofs need to be removeable at least until the very last; that's after paint, lettering, weather, &c) so you can put the dam glasing in all the windows.

uh, not to be a nudge but the center beam looks upside down? should be oriented like the 'too long' photo.
