My last post…..of 2017

Looking back, 2017 wasn’t my best year, in blogging or generally.

As far as blogging goes, I’ve been posting for 8 1/2 years.  This year I cut back on posts.  That caused the number of visitors to drop.

I am going to try and make a lot of changes for 2018.  In addition to at least one post a day, I also and going to try and go back over the last 8 1/2 years and read all my old posts.  I suspect this will be disappointing, but I need to look at the past to improve the future.

I hope you will all join me on this journey. #mementomori

Arma PZL-11

Arma is doing a PZL-11 as a follow up to their very nice PZL-7 kit.  Poland is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Tu-128

It looks like Trumpeter is going to do a Tu-128 in 72nd scale in 2018.  I can’t wait.
