The kits also lead you to ask questions about the real thing.
Like the 1/24th scale bona jet me and the boy finished recently - the Sharky Ward version.
Jeez, that thing has `fire access' points all over the place behind the pilot around the Pegasus.
I think I'm right in saying you couldn't run the water injection for any longer than about 30 seconds and that time in the hover was limited due to it getting too hot.
Was it especially prone to catching fire?
Possibly due to the excessive heat radiating from the office, due to the pilots ego?!
