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! We had some RCAF Hornets pass through my local airport recently (Prestwick International Airport) and managed to grab some photos...handy for weathering references (need to scroll down the page a bit)https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/gareth-burge/collections/aviation+the+jets Cheers, and looking forward to each episode.GarethWe want to hear from you!

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. I don’t think the future was even predictable at that point, with the rise of affordable scanning and computer power.Dave Metzner with Polar Lights really nailed the SF and fantasy market demand.***************************************SPONSOR AD #2Seans Custom Model Tools***************************************WHAT’S ON THE BENCHStuartMore weathering done on the Tomahawk, but I feel still needs some more. 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. Not a huge museum, but we’ll done and very good docents with lots of information. If you are modelling a Halifax, they have one fully restored (non flyable).Terry - Went to the Iron Maiden show in Columbus, and saw the 1:1 Spitfire prop!

Great kit. This led to a need for a “palette cleanser” so I pulled out the 1/72 LS kit of the BD5 and BD5J - the smallest jet ever built, it was famously flown by James Bond in Octopussy. Finally, the early P51 bug bit again and I’ve been plugging away on a 1/32 Hobbycraft P51A recon version. Nice shape but not as much detail as you might expect for 1/32.Terry - A fair amount of work over the past years on the Halberd Models Turbo Cavalier Mustang is now in the primer stage, the Dora Wings P-43 Lancer being painted, and the Zentradi Fleet being dull coated. And I watched Sandman on Netflix. So should you.Mike - 1/32nd F-18 for Brother in law.

He loved Corsairs and was converting this kit to the cannon-armed version. It’s an extensive conversion, and it took me a while to figure out what he was trying to achieve. He was a very good modeller, and my goal is to complete it as he wanted and to his standard as best I can. Lots of resin, scratch-built additions and the like.
