Interesting article on the 737 Max software issues. I think it is telling that US flag carriers haven’t had any problems and that the accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia involve local carriers whose pilot training may not have been as vigorous.
At least one B-1 has been given a red cockpit. Story here. (h/t to J.C. Bahr over on 72nd scale forum)
I previously mentioned Clearprop are releasing an A5M2 Claude. Here is a cool video of the assembly process.
ICM is releasing a kit of the I-153 in Chinese markings. Since that is what I’d want to build it in, it is good news for me.
I assume this is the old Supermodel kit. I don’t know if Italeri has done anything to the molds.
This story confirms what I’ve always said. The A380 never made any financial sense, either for its manufacturer or its operators.
Clearprop has announced a new A5M2 Claude in 72nd scale. While the Fujimi kit is nice, I am happy to see this kitted again in 72nd scale.
Looks like the Blue Angels will be transitioning to F/A-18E/Fs between 2020 and 2021. This should put an end to speculation that they would move to the F-35.
