Hi,

Every day, new possibilities arise. I've already seen that DC-3. The size of objects is quite intriguing to consider.
This was the top airliner of the day; by modern standards, it was barely bigger than a delivery truck.
Imagine it's the year 2079, the roads have been...

The Short Sperrin had stacked engines too.

There are quite interesting developments going on since constructors mastered the inherent weight and heat disadvantages of a diesel. It should run on lover revs ( to my basic engine knowledge) but the exciting noise could be the turbo charger.
Diamond seems indeed to be one of...

A belated happy 2023 to all of you from me, too! :)

I hope all of you will be able to build a lot and make good progress!

(Myself, I'm hoping to get more kits finished than in 2022, i.e. more than three)

Again proof that almost every thread on the forum can be resumed at any time. Oct 2014, will Dragon produce one of these snazzy looking beasts? Dec 2022, they won't but Anigrand will! Yes, the Dameya site lists both the . This page was posted a mere handful of days ago and seems...

Buon Natale e buon anno a tutti!

Definitely a rough landing. Pilot waited until it was pretty much stopped before punching out - probably because it was bucking around so much he worried about where he might end up getting flung.

The importance of 0/0 ejector seats proven once more

A handful of on the bottom shelf. The true power source of the Empire. The kit box even says so ... the engine of the future . :P

Yarr, avast me hearties! That be one sharp Talon! :D

Lovely shots and sounds like an amazing trip.

This out of the States sadly confirms what we already suspected, that no-one survived the crash. I'm seeing reports of the P-63 ostensibly making a turn but it is odd that all of the other aircraft in the flypast were maintaining a straight line and level altitude when the...

Hi Tony,
On the right side of the web page you have two options windows. One is for currency (estimate, since they always charge in GBP), the other is for wu/export prices, or UK prices.
Since I am in Argentina I always get the export prices (also the expensive shipping charges...

Hi Tony,
They will charge only when the item becames available, and it goes to your Private warehouse and is ready to ship.
I use my credit card directly due PayPal issues locally.

If for some reason the credit card charge is rejected (it happens to me regularly due to local...

I've mentioned the 1953 version of The War of the Worlds previously, and conveniently lists every type of aircraft that appears, even including a Stinson L-5 Sentinel, wings folded, just visible on a landing craft. Given that the film was a product of Hollywood with an almost...

The Insurance is for part of the contents insurance. For example my mother was a coin collector and had her collection insured for £25K based on official book prices - ie if she had to replace the collection if destroyed or stolen.

After she passed, I sold the collection to a...

Got to admit that this news item was covered here Down Under, albeit not anywhere near a headline story. We have our own ongoing issues with the Beijing regime, so it did garner a few What the ... exclamations at the time. Of course, it's now been relegated down the list, behind...

I would wholeheartedly recommend all (sic!) movies on YT channel.

Of course the Maryy documentary was quite an eye-opener - esp. the cognac stripes on MiG-29s and the last commander of this unit becoming a first Ministry of Defence of independent Ukraine - but the other movies...

When you are half a world away, even more so. Indeed, with all those great photos, I don't think one cuppa would suffice! Got to admit that I'm a bit like Fritz ... all this modelling goodness is more than I could probably handle in a single visit.

PS. I reckon our colleagues...

those three wheel Messershmitts made it to the ends of the earth.
A New Zealander of my acquaintance tells a story of a chap in one of those, one rainy morning,
careening down hill and skids into a curve, (which is the downfall of all front wheel trikes),up on to a sidewalk,...

A Duxford Air Show has been on my Bucket List for a long while. Can't stop drooling at the thought ... ;)
