"I can't speak for everyone Bob, but I would really enjoy a build thread for one of your WOF scales." 68Bud, You asked for it. OK, Here we go. I had actually taken a bunch of pics of the last MHR 8255 build I did for this purpose, but promptly erased them trying to do something creative with...

I just came across some pics of a turbine Budweiser taken in a Miami hangar, and am trying to identify the Master Hull Roster number. I'm thinking it's the T-1 MHR 8407 in 1987 livery. There is no driver's name on cockpit, U-11 appears on top of horizontal wing, the leading edge of the wing is...
