    just saying hi cuz I'm new

    Chaps, quite likely that this fellow is 12, and plays a lot of video games. That said, just saying P-38 get's me going, in a fictional guise or not, what an aeroplane. :D

    Junkers Ju 88 loading system, 1/32..

    Wait a sec, is this chap you speak of involved with Junkers JU-88 D-1 4N+EH Werk.nr.0881203, currently being restored in Norway? I would love to see one of these fly, even if it had P&W Radials powering it, who cares. :) Such an impressive machine.

    Passenger jet shot down over Ukraine

    Happy Birthday To The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt.

    Haven't seen one of these fly yet, what a machine. The British response to seeing these land in the Uk "you guys better go home with these trucks you'll never survive" still sends tingles down my spine. The American's knew these things had potential, but what workhorses they were. The B-24 being...
