Thank you very much Lysus! :)

I'll think about the astronauts... I have a Apollo Lunar Module kit from Revell in my stash. :think:

Thank you very much, PrivateMansoor :)

First I planned to only build the aircraft, but while I was doing research about F-104 I found some info about NF-104, the USAF astronaut training program for the X-15 and I recalled the movie "The Right Stuff" so I decided to go for that theme.

:cheers2:

Tommy, I was looking back to find your name as my inspiration for my Tamiya build and realized that I never commented on your finished build!
:bash: :bash: :bash:

Beautiful work and I love the base! I hope my tribute to Chuck Yeager and "The Right Stuff" will be half as good!

Wow, I'm very honoured - I'll scoot over to the "I Love Tamiya" right away!

Yeah, those aircrafts really required pilots with skill, "fingerspitzgefühl" and courage... :pistols:
