    German Military Abbreviations

    Found a nice pdf of German Military Abbreviations. I've been looking for something like this for years, and so I figured maybe someone else might be, too.

    Book to read "The Candy Bombers"

    I have just complete an excellent book on a period of time I was not familiar with but would affect the world for the following forty years, and that book is, of course, the less than impressive titled “The Candy Bombers”. It is a large, well reference book with about 25% being notes and...

    Your Military Surplus/Heirlooms/Etc.

    A while ago I was searching for something to keep that would always remind me of my Grandaddy Bill Bounds military career, when I found M1 helmets online. I have an old picture of him before his First Jump (see below) where the helmet is marked "341" so I figured I would buy it and paint it up...

Nowadays it seems obvious that a military transport should have a high wing, an upswept rear fuselage...

    Russian bomber patrols in the Gulf of Mexico

    I won't pretend to know much about modern military tactics or political positioning, but this is just bulls**t. To me, they are ON PURPOSE just trying to piss off the U.S. and, to me, it's just because they think they can because of the weak leadership on Pennsylvania Avenue. (OK, no more...

    Modern Saudi military

    Since I'm currently in this S***hole of a country and given the nonsense that is going on in this region, I thought I'd ask you guys this. Recently, in response to ISIS movement around Syria, Saudi sent 30,000 troops to the Northern Saudi/Iraqi border. I have always heard that Saudi is the big...

    Krupp Protz Troop Transport

    This is one of my favorite models to date, of the ground vehicle type. I have yet to build my Willies Jeep, or my American transport Truck, though, so it may end up second, or even third, like anyone cares but me. :-])

    Volkswagen Staff Car

    A neat old German work horse. I'll be starting in on Allied Vehicles soon. Nothing like a good sharp photo to show how bad a paint job the wheels received. I have GOT to fix those wheels on this Volkswagen.
