Yes, down the street from me at the old Rockwell and McDonnell Douglas plants where the built the beasts ;)
Although I am being facetious about the 1/32 model, the plants really are right by me, but now both owned and operated by Boeing :(

we were down in the Houston area a few years ago visiting family. They have one in a shed, on its side. What a monster. You could toast a serious marshmallow with that thing. Marvelous machines.

before I became a cop 25 years ago, I worked security at the MDAC plant... I used to love my walking secuirty checks on off hours when the plant was closed and seeing the Delta rockets being built and other such things... I was in hog heaven...

We had rain/snow/sleet last night. nothing but clouds. Down in Port St. Joe, Florida, they have light restrictions on the beach due to turtle nesting. There were some serious stars there. Certainly is a marvelous sight.
