Ben MOne of my favorite prototypes! I'll never build that kit though. You did a fantastic job on it.

Gary KitchenFabulous as always. Never heard of this before, sounds like they were just making names up at this stage 😄

Dave Burgess SzerzőThx! Gary, I don't think this was an *official* name. Often, the manufacturers didn't give names to their prototypes unless they got a production contract. In this case, I believe the name was given to it because the propeller blades were going supersonic even while the plane was stationary, the noise generated gave ground crew severe headaches and nausea, even though they were wearing ear protection.
