Upcoming models

The Quail! That's still one of my favorite little drones. It was always fun telling people about it on tours at the SAC museum here.

Make it c whatever scale you want. It would be a fun project to scale it to the FG B-52.

Aaron,

Clearly, your designs are getting a lot of exposure on Ecardmodels, but do you realize more $$$ if we buy them directly from your site? (That's what I've always done since you started Murph's Models.)

Yeah. My "plan" is to let new models stew on my site for a week, then ship em out to Chris and Andrey. We all know how the plans of mice and men go though...

Now your B-52's won't be defenseless anymore. The Quail decoy missile will protect them.

And as an added bonus for those who want a desk model, it's 1/8 scale. I think my first model (other than the Starr Bumblebee) to make it into the single digits for scale.

Just gotta do some finalizations, and it'll be up before too long.

Hhmm, never saw that before. When was it used?

I didn't know you had a bumble bee. Quail looks nice. It was an air launched decoy carried by the B-52 back in the dark ages of the Cold War.

It's amazing how the B-52 can carry heavy cargo on it's wings. I was amazed when I saw how the X-15 was launched.

Where? When? How much? Which scale ?

Best, Nando

By the way the Quails were carried inside the fuselage of the B-52, with the wings folded, If I remember right.

You are correct Nando. On early buffs, they were carried in the aft bomb bay (two of them). The -G model could carry four.
