Amazing story

A story worth remembering.

Japanese missile defense

Looks like the Japanese are seeking closer integration of missile defense with the US. Smart on their part and makes sense for the US as well.

72nd scale armor releases

I will admit that I’d like to get all three of these kits, but especially the Japanese truck.

Rising decals Ki-48

Some Lilly decals from Rising Decals.  Look pretty good.

Dead Design Models

A new model accessory company.  Some neat items for Japanese aircraft.

Really big modelling

This is interesting.

The modelwife and kids went on vacation and left me alone for a week.  I decided to attempt a “Geldmacher Blitz” (a build of a kit from 6 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday.  While I failed in my attempt to get a model completed in that time, I was able to finish the Tamiya A6M2 by the time my family returned from vacation.  For purposes of keeping track I lumped this all into one build session even though it stretched over 9 days and the 15 hour total is a guestimate.  I will do a first half of the year roundup in my next post.

Finished one

Here it is.  Details to follow.

 

Blitzbau

I am conducting a Geldmacher Blitzbau over on 72nd Scale Aircraft Forum.

 

 

Missile defense

More evidence that the Pacific is the most important strategic area right now.  I suspect that more of these will be built.  Look for one in Japan at some point.
