Just wanted you to know we have some great aviation museums here in sunny Scotland as well, including the National Museum of Flight just south of Edinburgh, which contains a Concorde, Vulcan, Spitfire, Harrier, Tornado, Canberra and of course the only place in the UK where there is a Red Arrows Hawk on display. Well worth a visit!National Museum of FlightAnyway...wanted to pick your brains...a few years ago I flew in a T6 Harvard in Florida...I now have the 1/48 kit to make, but wanted two civilian pilots to add in. Do any of you know where I might find 1/48 scale civilian pilots? Also on the subject of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson...were you guys aware he flies and displays his own WW1 fighter aircraft (a Fokker Triplane) as part of the WW1 Memorial Flight. Saw him at RIAT a few years ago and quite the display.Thanks again guys, love the podcast!

Aging out? Whose nostalgia? Changes by generation…Better experience for first-time builders - easier and more satisfying kits. This has greatly improved in the past 20 years, multi-color plastic, good snap-fit, much better detail etcRise of CAD and computer design.

Putting it aside, for now, to focus on getting the Arma 1/72 Hurricane done. Tailplanes put on and getting smaller parts ready for painting. I think I’ve got the scheme I’m going to use. Geoff - working on finishing the Hobbycraft 1/32 P51A Mustang in a one-off “dazzle” camouflage scheme from 1943/44. It’s a skill building project and not a super detail project, so the focus is on masking, finishing and weathering.Terry - solid work done on the P-43 and Cavalier. The Cavalier white coat might be good enough to start gloss clear. The P-43 is ready for decals. Wish me luck! Starting cleanup on Moscato’s Dragunn.***************************************THINGS WE’VE SEENGeoff - visited the RCAF Museum in Trenton, Ontario last week.

Welcome to Episode 83 Sponsored by Sean’s Custom Hobby Tools and Return To Kit Form Hosts Stuart Clark Geoff Heyland Terry Meisle Thanks to our latest Patreon Supporters: *************************************** LATEST NEWS CH2A model show Guelph show has been cancelled Hobbyeasy credit card hack ************************************** MAILBAG Correction on folding wings Joel Middleton Hello, it is lovely to hear Stuart is doing well. In your last podcast, you mentioned that the Flyhawk SBD had been criticized for not having a wing fold. It is worth noting that the real thing didn’t either… Otherwise a great show as always. Ray Boorman from Toronto wrote in as well with the same facts. ***** Hello Stuart, Geoff and Terry I’m a long time listener to the pod. I am happy that Stuart is feeling better and thought I would share some thoughts about stashes since you three were talking stashes in your last episode. On one hand, if it is managed and cared for, the stash is a legitimate hobby within a hobby. I see it as no different from other forms of collecting, even if the stasher has only the slightest intention to build the kits. Hey, if having kits brings joy to someone, what is wrong with that? However, an experience from earlier this year showed me the ‘dark side’ of the stash. Without getting into too much detail, a friend of mine purchased a collection and asked a few of us to help take it out of a house. I volunteered because (a) during covid, I’ve been extremely bored and house bound (b) it would be a fun morning with my model buddies and (c) I get to paw though models. Well, after some 4-5 hours of clearing out a house with 10 other guys I can tell you this: There is definitely a difference between a managed stash and a hoard of model kits that have been piled endlessly and have gradually taken over all living spaces. A significant amount of these kits were not only sealed, they were not even taken out of the bag from the store. Just piled and piled and piled. I can’t guess how many kits were there – but there were thousands. I only saw a small fraction of what was being boxed up and loaded onto almost two cube trucks. What I thought would be a fun experience became a depressing one. The point I am trying to make is that “stash” went well beyond collecting and probably an indicator of something else. If you think one of your friends or some club member is heading down that road, it might not be a bad idea to check in on him once in a while to see how he is doing. Chris Wallace / Model Airplane Maker   From Paul Brown: Hi Terry, Just a quick heads up that there is a fault with the Kinetic F-104G! Kinetic is aware but has stated publicly they are not going to change the moulds due to cost (so you may need to graft a section from a monogram kit in to rectify!). Above the wing section on the fuselage, where the jet intake blends into the trailing edge of the wing, the Kinetic kit stops way too far forward. They have corrected the issue on the TF-104G and the F-104C as they had not been released, so if the monogram fix isn’t practical, you may need to cut the single-seat nose off and fit to the Tf-104 (F-104 C tail is too short to make a G!

Welcome to Episode 76 Sponsored by Sean’s Custom Model Tools and Return To Kit Form Hosts Stuart Clark Geoff Heyland Terry Miesle Thanks to our latest Patreon Supporter: David Roach *************************************** LATEST NEWS Moosaroo Cup III HG Sakura Wars Spiricle Striker Mugen (Azami Mochizuki Type) NIMCON 2021 is the Region 5 contest. September 18th. From Paul at Paragrafix I have just received confirmation from Brian Johnson that I am licensed to produce his concept Space 1999 Mk IX Hawk cockpit for Round 2’s upcoming kit in 1/48 scale. I only viewed the kit briefly at Wonderfest so actual design work will have to wait until it’s released and proper measurements can be made. *************************************** MAILBAG Matt Dyer, Gilbert, AZ Still enjoying your podcast very much. Part 1 of the interview with Jonathan Mock was excellent, and am waiting for Part 2. I read Mr. Mock’s column in Model Airplane International, and it is always interesting and full of great insights. I fully agree with what he said about the people saying the “hobby is dying”. What nonsense! Each month kits appear that we would not have dreamed of 20 years ago. The hobby may be changing direction. Gone are the days when kits could be purchased for pocket change, and maybe as the Baby Boom generation ages out, we will see an end to the flood of German armor, Mustangs and Spitfires. For a generation brought up on Star Wars we will see a lot more sci fi models. And that is okay. The older kits will still be here, and new genres will bring in new modelers. It is all good.

Welcome to Episode 60 Sponsored by Goodman Models. Hosts Stuart Clark Anthony Goodman Special Guest Host: Kerry Traynor of IPMS Canada Kerry started modelling as a young lad and like most modellers, set the hobby aside during secondary school and college. He got back to the hobby after college and has enjoyed it ever since. His primary interest lays in 1/48 post-WW2 aircraft, but oddly, he’s been building 1/48 and 1/32 scale WW2 aircraft and 1/35 modern armour of late. He has been a member of IPMS Canada for almost 40 years, as well as a member of the chapters in Calgary, Ottawa and of course, here in London. He believes in taking an active role in the Chapter and has served as president of the London chapter a couple of times and chaired the South-Western Ontario Scale Model Expo committee on two occasions. He currently serves on the IPMS Canada Executive as the Chapter and Member Liaison. Prior to retiring in 2018, Kerry was a Professor in the Architectural Technology program at Fanshawe College for 29 years.   Thank you to our latest Patreon Supporters: Paul-Alexander Crystal Jon Seip We want to hear from you!
