Hooray, Borg is back!

And he’s been building something like the rest of the world!

That is looking sharp!

Thanks guys! I have even started a another little kit. Pics and a tread to follow shortly.

Lookin’ good!

Impressive work Borg! Nicely done! I'm thrilled to see you back!

Wow! That's really cool looking! Very nice!

Good to hear from you Borg - glad everything is alright!

Brilliant looking build that - nice work!

The current state of my build.














Just a few details and final construction and it is done. However, I am moving in a few weeks so I will keep it like this. That way no small parts can fall of during the move.

That is a beauty! Such a good looking aircraft. It was a shame they lost one of the vehicles. It was pilot error....

It is a good looking aircraft indeed!

As far as the loss due to pilot error goes, like the Black Hats in jump school kept telling us, “because the sky, like the sea, is unforgiving.”

There was a show on "Air Disasters" on Smithsonian that profiled the event. The co-pilot unlocked the tail booms too early for some reason. They concluded that the danger in that had not been clearly (only in a couple of old e-mails) presented, reinforced and hammered home. I think it was at Mach 1.8 when they should have been unlocked, they were unlocked at Mach 1.4.

Yes, is so true that the sky and sea are very unforgiving.
