often than we hear about. Good outcome.

Armory WWI British truck
Apparently this has been announced. Only place I can find any info is here. I’d like to see a picture of the kit or a CAD or boxtop. Anyone know where I can find more info?
Magazine review: Scale Aircraft Modelling Vol.41 #5 (July 2019)
I’ve looked back and realized I haven’t done a SAM review in about 4 years. I used to do them all the time. Out of the habit I guess. I still get the magazine and live through its ups and downs. This issue is the last by its current editor. A new editor took over for the August issue. I’ll review that when I get the time.
In this issue, two subjects I am greatly interested are covered. There is a long form build review of the Revell/ICM MiG-25 RB. While the RB is a recon version is a recon version, the cover of the magazine features a nice drawing of one of the interceptor versions. There is also a color article on pre-WWII RAF far east colors, centering around whether any Vildebeestes were wearing a blue/green far east scheme. (They probably weren’t) A good issue. I enjoyed it and it took me more than 30 minutes to read it, which is a good sign.
My one criticism would be that in man of the short build reviews, the models built for the review don’t look very good. If I were a manufacturer, I’d be worried about the impression these photos left of my models.

Sooner rather than later
we are going to get whacked from out space, and I just hope it isn’t a big one.

MiG-41
It is vaporware for the moment. Given the financial situation in Russia, color me skeptical that it will see the light of day anytime soon.

Drones and naval warfare
This story of China using a drone to keep tabs on US Navy ships passing through the Taiwan straight raises an interesting question of how drones (UAVs) will affect naval warfare in the future. I am not sure anyone knows.
