Your feel good story of the day

Love conquers all.  Modeler finally gets lucky. (h/t Jeff “Inch High” Groves)

Of interest to me

This particular raid is of great interest to me.  I’d like to visit Norway to see the place and walk the ground..

A question

Below is a really nice PLASMO 72nd scale diorama.  In it he uses the AK foam product.  Since we know AK takes commercially available items and repackages them at a mark up for modeling uses, does anyone have any idea what the foam actually is and whether it is available from a more direct vendor?

I love training films

YouTube contains a bunch of training films.  These are a great insight into what our grandfathers were dealing with.  They are a valuable resource to the modeler.

A close run thing

An interesting story. I had not realized how much the new prop increased the Spitfire’s performance.

Operation Archery

This commando operation in Norway is one of my areas of particular interest.  This is a good YouTube on it.

Operation Mutton

WWII is endlessly fascinating.  I learn something I didn’t know all the time.  The latest was Operation Mutton. HP Harrows in combat as anti-bomber aircraft.  Wild.

I love WWII history

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

A new King of the Britons

I think this little girl is now the new king of the Britons.
