Y’all may not remember, but I do actually model from time to time. I’ve been working on the Brengun MXY-7 Ohka. Given how small it is, you would think it would take a lot less time than a larger kit. This isn’t the case. In any event, it is together and due to the shorter run nature of the kit, I’m having to put a little extra time in on the seams.

Yes, the seat seems to have a slight tilt to it. No, I am not going to fix it.
Hi, I am David and I’m a decaloholic! (<crowd> Hi, David). DK has announced a new sheet of Hurricane decals. I have no doubt that there will be tons of options on the sheet, which is a hallmark of DK sheets. Skippy recently used some DK decals and reports they are of high quality.
Looks like Special Hobby is moving along on their Potez 25. I’ll be interested to see how many versions you;ll be able to build.
Brengun is going to release a Model 22. I am currently building their Model 11. The 22 was produced, but never used operationally.
Interesting thoughts on the coming use of aircraft mounted laser weapons.
Looks like Russians lost two Su-34s off the Asian coast of Russia. Note: that at the time I linked to the story, the photo with the story was an Su-27UB, not an Su-34. We’ll see if they correct that.
Hobbyboss has announced a new A-4E for later in 2019. Frankly this is good news as a modern tooling of an A-4E would be most welcome.
Grand Models ( a new company to me) has announced a resin Texan T Mk 1. (the modern aircraft, not the WWII trainer.) Markings will be for the RAF, RCAF and RNZAF.
Boeing is working on a “transonic wing” that will allow airliners to fly close to, but not exceed the speed of sound. This would cut some longer flight travel times by a significant amount, at a much lower cost than a supersonic airliner.
