Fascinating

I find this really interesting.

No idea

I have no idea why I think this is a cool aircraft, but I do.

Blackburn Firecrest

I was completely unaware of this aircraft.

Good for the United Kingdom

Deploying some western tech to the battlefield in Ukraine.  Story here.

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.
