And, for today´s menu, riveting day...

[+EricJ 4,240]

Better you than me FLOGGER23 in regards to riveting. I mean I can do it too but that's a lot of work but it's paying off as it looks good! 

[+daddyairplanes 10,230]

had done some rivets in the past, just got back to it with the latest rendition on teh -141s.

cheated and made myself a template with a big straight line, then copy past and shrink . gonna add to it with a big circle of rivets (for round panels, curves and rounded corners) and a couple of angled lines (cause a little bit of definition is lost when you take a vertical line and rotate it to the angle needed)

but hats off to you riveters. and a reminder of why i do big birds with very colorful paint schemes

loadmasterin', seeing how much more can be loaded on teh B model than the A

[+EricJ 4,240]

I flew on a C141 in 2000 doing a deployment to Montana for a firefighting mission. I have to say I preferred the C130 better. I didn't jump but simply flew in it
