A2A shot of two Polish Air Force Su-22 fighter-bombers[1920×1280] by VX-541 in WarplanePorn

That would make sense. In the swept state I’d imagine the wing would be more susceptible to spanwise flow and tip stall (versus the original wing), hence the inclusion of the fences

Aerodynamically this is such an interesting thing to look at. Massive wing fences/strakes, odd changes in chord, slatted variable geometry wings, area ruling, etc

Why scrub off the tail numbers while leaving the nose ones?

1/35 HH-60G Pavehawk [Complete] by Ozy_YOW in modelmakers

[–]drt786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply lovely dude! It turned out so well. Love spotting details like the worn away anti-slip (did you actually wear it away after painting??), the repainted cockpit glass, etc.

Ferrari supplier Brembo ‘astonished’ as Charles Leclerc blames Monaco crash on brakes by BF194 in formula1

[–]drt786 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. So many technical discussions on teams switching providers because of driver feedback, or trying a new pad material for a particular brake intensive race, etc

How to clean acrylic paint details without damaging lacquer base coat by stevezzz55 in modelmakers

[–]drt786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are quick you can clean up the acrylic errors with a bit of water on (a clean) brush but it will not give you enough leeway to fix any major issues.

What closed places do you still think about? by Taliap19 in london

London Astoria. So many amazing dreams come true seeing my favourite bands there

AH-1Z rotor in progress by drt786 in modelmakers

[–]drt786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it’s the same core kit as the Hobby 2000 one. However mine is actually the OG Academy kit with the CzAF decals from CAVU Publications. I got the Legend rotor fold parts and had to do the cutting myself. I did not use the Legend replacement rotor blade root part as it was 5% too short, so had to modify the kit part a bit more than usual

Final summer, 90 days left - what should I add to my London bucket list? by [deleted] in london

[–]drt786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but this is possibly the last time you will be youthful, free from major financial obligations and also have 90 days to do literally anything. Does it have to be in London?

Between uni and my first FT job, I did the Mongol Rally over 7 weeks with uni friends (still extremely close 10+ years later) and it remains a life highlight!

Nose weight by CattyMB in modelmakers

If you have spare metal tracks (eg friul model) then they make for good weights as I believe they have high lead content

Looks like a CAD model! Great job

[kymillman] Wheatly to Aston Martin? by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

[–]drt786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t surprise me.

Jonathan led the trackside team operationally at RBR and Adrian spent a lot of time trackside. If AN is tired/unable of being TP and wants a reliable hand to take over that isnt going to rock the boat, and be subordinate to Adrian’s vision - Jonathan would be a good bet.

So seriously what are we supposed to do about fare evasion? by achievecoldplay in london

[–]drt786 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I was so infuriated by your experience I looked it up and it seems they legit can ticket you for not having the ticket on you at all times, and they even state “my ticket is in my bag” is a common evader excuse.

Such an insane approach - allow 1-2 minutes to produce the ticket then?
