AND THERE IT IS!!! THE HA8402 P47 D "No Guts - No GLORY" !!!…

Dear all members !!!

Despite our different ages, countries, cultures, religions and ways of life, our passion for Airplane Model Collectors makes us closer than in any other forum or site, thanks to God (... and a little to Matt too !!!).

Let me here wish to you all , your relatives and friends a merry XMas (or Winter solstice for the others ...LOL !!) and a happy 2014 New Year. May this new year be the occasion of more peace in the world and food for every…

THAT WORKS !!! THANK YOU AHMED MISBAH! THE WIZARD OF MAC HEADERS !!! The multipics GIF image is OK for the duty, with a slight loss of definition and reduction to 256 colours, but that goes well. Limited cos' of the maxi size of the header to 1Mb to 8-9 pics. But it's a great show improvement !! Other possibilities exist, as various effects and images transitions, but these minorize the number of pics. I'll try more !!

Dear Matt!

Could you imagine the possibility of a slideshow ON THE PERSONAL PAGE HEADER BANNER, pointing to any adapted album (like my Album 38 for instance), with adaptable frequency (up to any reasonable delay)?

Many thanks for your brainstorming !

Friendly yours

Jeff

The parcel was immediately hidden away by my wife !!

XMas is XMas, she said. There is no control reason or anything else to open it. You'll be authorized to do so only ON TIME.

Sob...

Sometimes, life is…

Hey, men !! Here is my airplane model collector's gift for XMAS:

These two AFVs have some aspect resemblances, but they differ quite slightly:

The Fiat is heavier (14 t) and has a 47mm main gun, though the Skoda (10 t) uses a 37mm.

Secondary armament is similar (2 machine guns 7.9 / 8mm).

The Fiat is powered by a Diesel engine and owns a 200km autonomy, though the Skoda has a gazoline engine and a 120-150km autonomy.

The Skoda owns 4 upper return rollers (vs 3 for the Fiat) and shows an extra down roller just aft of the front…

Hello, you!

I get this morning the fourth issue of this new 1/43 series launched in France by Eaglemoss: it's the Cruiser Tank Mk VI Crusader III A15 from the 6th Armoured Division, Pichon, Tunisia, 1943.  This time, it seems to me to be quite acceptable and is compared to the 1/72 Altaya/IXO model:…

Hello, folks!

I found these 2 photographs of the "Paris-Beauvais" (- in fact Beauvais-Tillé airport - picts source: unknown),  on the net, taken the 30th December 2012. The Fisheye view illustrates the crowdy terminals !! All places (12) were occupied on the tarmac by 10 RyanAir, 1 BlueAir (center) and 1 WizzAir (far right).

Take care, all !!

Hello, m8s !

I get this morning a new Altaya/IXO 1/72 airplane model:

it's the DH110 Sea Vixen coded XP924 - 134.

The Sea Vixen was built to only 145 planes and was an ill fated model.

I found a photo of the true aircraft, the last one in flying conditions. Here it is, followed by the model's ones.…

Yeah, pull away, me lads of the Cardiff Rose (I like the Byrds and Roger Mc Guinn !!)...

Merry X-Mas !!

I eventually got it !! My HM 1/48 Spitfire Mk IX !!

Johnnnie Johnson's mount !!

Awesome model !

Here are my first photos of the beast !!

Take care all!!

Lucky Jeff…
