Just thought I'd chime in here on the Savage. The Virtavia Model looks great. I did however have the opportunity to hear a lecture from a former Navy pilot about the peculiar aircraft. They have a static Savage on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. The fellow giving us the tour used to fly many Navy aircraft during his military career, to include the Skyraider during Vietnam. So, I'd assumed he had been in the "s**t" at least a few times. According to him the Savage was a piece of trash. He stated that it had been hastily designed, for reasons I can't remember, at the beginning of the nuclear age. He told us the story of his conversations with Savage pilots who simply stated to him that if they had gotten a bogie on their six, they would just push to full throttle and so many parts would come flying off of the Savage, that it would knock the bogie out of the sky!. We all laughed. It was a great tour and at the end my son and I thanked him for his service.
P.S. - I have been thinking of purchasing the Virtavia Savage. Would you great folks recommend it??
Thanks Cees,
I may purchase it in the near future. Thanks for all the work you do on repaints. I have just about all the repaints you've done for the A2A 109....great work!!........cheers!!!
I took the day and put together a fundamental set of bumps and a gloss Sea Blue skin. I don't have the data yet for accurate rivet placements, but even the basic set is a significant improvement for a great plane. I've got some other big projects on the fire, but I'll be picking away at a set of detailed bumps and specs for this one.
