In the city of Kure, Japan, not far from Hiroshima, there is a museum dedicated to the battleship Yamato.
And there is a model, well, if you can call it a model....
We will say a representation of the Yamato at 1/10th....
Compare the size of the thing with the visitors........

Last post

That's the Yamato done. Next on the list ... Musashi, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Shinano, etc. The guys who built this one obviously didn't notice that Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi and Aoshima chose 1/700 because of potential space issues ... :P

New coming out of an F-35B crash while landing. The pilot appears to have ejected OK. Was making a vertical landing but bounced on contact then came down on its nose wheel which snapped before the entire plane pancaked.

Last post

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.
