My niece called me from my building parking lot. She told me to come down as she had something for me. Yippee!
That something turned out be Avro CF-105 Pilot's Operating Instructions and RCAF Testing/Basing Plans.
OOH BOY what a nice end to another wise bad day of news.

Had these kits show up from Gary Aka Old Dog
I know there is that new Zoukei-Mura But honestly to me it looks way to over engineered for my skills. So this will do nicely
This thing is big. Going to be a blast to build though.
Some goodies from the Brothers Sprue
Finally tracked down this baby over on Arc Air.

Every time I see an image of one of th9ose Dewotine planes i think that the forward downward visibility must have been terrible because of how far back the cockpit was.
A lot of model builder gained their skills by improving on basic kits. now it seems that the kits are getting to be overly complicated for anyone but very advanced builders.
Rather than scratch their own accessories they now buy aftermarket. Remember the days when we made ration boxes from brown paper bag paper and made tarps and bedrols from tissue?
BTW, is Hobbycraft still around or ar the kaput?

I'm not sure if Hobbycraft is still around or not. I still see some of their stuff in online stores. But I know their stuff is reboxed by Academy and Italeri. Most of their kits aren't to bad really. I've tried the tissue tarp once and really liked it. Also done some scratchbuilding as well. But I'm lazy so just end up building straight from the box or using Eduard zoom stuff

Yeah, Hannants has a load of Mk.1's right now. Says they're "exclusive to Hannants" but they also have another Blenheim kit and a CR. 32 due for future release. I am wondering if they are using CA molds for a special production or if CA is back to some extent.

One of my students wrote about the tank as an innovation that seriously changed things... I asked him about male v. Female tanks... He laughed. I told him if he didn't believe me to look it up!
He was teased the rest of the day... "Don't argue with Mr. Millisor about military stuff..."
