I love aggressor schemes. I always have, particularly the ones the USAF and USN use in their aggressor squadrons. The USN has just revealed the schemes for the Super Hornet which is moving into the aggressor role. Article here. Scroll all the way through.

Canadian Fokkers
I have the Eduard 72nd scale Fokker D.VII. I think when I get around to it, I’d like to build a post-war Canadian one.

The 1942 raid on Oslo
Listeners to the podcast know that I am engaged in a group build of the Tamiya Mosquito. Because I have a great interest in the invasion of Norway in 1940, and the subsequent occupation, I decided to build one of the aircraft that participated in the 1942 raid on the gestapo headquarters in Oslo. These four aircraft were from 105 Squadron and were the first use of the new Mosquito that were acknowledged in the British press.
The raid was not exactly a success. However it was the first of many of these precision strikes including the Arhaus raid and the Shellhaus raid. In fact, the Oslo raid was repeated in late 1944.
I am a fan of Stan Stokes prints, and here is a print of the raid.
