Where should they be built? I think this is a pretty strong argument. However, I also see an argument for diversifying the capability to build these to as many places as possible.

New Year’s resolutions
In general, new year’s resolutions don’t pan out. This is especially been true in the past regarding my modeling resolutions. This year I am keeping them more modest, but at the same time I am going to try harder to stick to them. Here they are.
- Finish the M-30 and Mossie
- Build the Trumpeter Tu-128 and do a bare metal finish
- Build Fine Molds Ki-43 I
- Build Fine Molds Type A mini sub
- Finish one other aircraft to be named later
Now, that would be 6 kits if I finished them all which would be a record for me. Time will tell.

Another “story like this”
I linked previously to an interesting story of Polish air combat in WWII. Here is another one of those endlessly fascinating WWII stories. A submarine that killed an airplane with a torpedo.

I love WWII history
I find WWII history endlessly fascinating. The video regarding the Japanese attack on Madagascar is just one small example.

Das Werk U-9 build
I previously mentioned that I was very excited by the Das Werk U-9 announcement. Well, a YouTube channel, Andy’s Hobby Headquarters, has a build of a test sample. Enjoy.

US Navy to get new boomers
The USN is going to get new SSBNs, with contracts just signed for the first two subs. Story here. (Hey Inch, want to place a bet on when the first one is actually delivered?)

Glad we are doing this
All US forces need to train against aggressors with the best equipment possible. The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle.
