Fade to Black…

Ehm… just out of curiosity: are we supposed to identify the plane there or the names of the groundcrew refuelling the thing?[%-)]. Easy the man says! All I can see is a small part of a raggity-*** wing and a canopy there[BH]. Well, I guess it’s game on[yuck][8-][party][BG][XX] (sorry, had to try the new smily’s, lol).

Having looked around on the net trying to figure out what’s wrong with this plane I got an answer for ya: it’s a 1/1 scale kitbash. Yup that’s my story and I’m sticking to it[:D].

A little update here: steeeeee-rike! (I hope[%-)]).

I believe we are looking at a British Petroleum 242JFA Mark IV refueling nozzle - 1943 vintage…

it’s a navy plane, did i get it?

I like the NMF and the weathering on the leading edge looks good, if not a bit unrealistic.

Judging from that it is a Marine F-4.5UF-6a

Well, so far we’ve got a good range of guesses here and we’re at .500.

To answer one question sent with a reply; no, the image isn’t backwards or anything like that. I did crop it for the benefit of the quiz, but I’ll post the full image when all’s said and done…

By the way, Turtle, I must have grabbed that image you sent me before I lost the email, because I came across it in one of my ‘holding areas’; didn’t realize it was there. It was color and it was BIG, right?

Fade to Black…

Steve,

It was color; I don’t know if it was big as in .jpeg file but it was second biggest of its type at the time, although not for long.

The guy with the fuel nozzle looks as though he’s soaked with fuel…

I have no idea what kinda plane it is.

Either fuel or sweat!

I guess that, so far, this one is proving to be a bit tougher than I first thought…

Fade to Black…

I can hear some of you now…

Curse 'Um! Rats! This Is So Simple?!?! That BlackWolf guy is So Not Cool!!!

A clue you say? Well, I’ve just given one…

Fade to Black…

Well, if you think it’ll help… [;)]

The guy on the wing is Floyd Helphrey and the guy on the ground is W. Gardner. (Sorry, I dunno the second fella’s first name…)

Fade to Black…

I can only hope you’re kidding[(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][:O]

Nope…

Fade to Black…
