New Reference Pages Section



Check out the new Reference Pages section of the site. It contains a list of aircraft type (e.g. Fw 190A) and links to a page for each, where a more comprehensive collection of resources can be found. Walk arounds, model builds, videos, web sites,  etc. can be found. There are currently very few craft listed but I will attempt to add to them over time into what will hopefully be a useful resource for model builders.

As part of my WWII binge I found the iconic Airfix Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero. A beautiful and effective long range fighter in the employ of the Japanese Navy. Gorgeous!!

I chose the Airfix kit because it was basic and had recessed panel lines. I actually picked up two of them as well as a Tamiya version. Those remain in my stash for later ...

If I actually had anyone following this blog I'd apologize for long delay between posts ... but I don't so no one will have noticed. Whew ...

After my experience with the Academy 1:72 FW 190A I had a taste for WWII and was pumped to work on some more Academy kits. So I did ... A Stuka, Spitfire, Zero and a Warhawk.
