On my PC it's coupled with Google Earth and permits the external flight panoramic vision with all plane infos! I'm bluffed !! Try the site flightradar24.com if you didn't yet!

Hard Decision...

Hi, mates!

This hard decision, taking in account the substantial decreasing of my dedicated money allocations (for collecting, lol !) was to choose between the HM 1/48 Douglas Bader's Spitfire Va and Johnny Johnson's Spitfire IX models...

I eventually ordered the Spit IX, as The Spit Va D-B has no real external differences with the 3 Spits I I own yet, and its camo is again the initial Green/brown pattern the 3 models I got are in !!…

In an attempt to free the Airplane collectors, may I suggest you to post your photographs directly in the Military Vehicles Group posts or discussions.? For those who wants to write "Historical" posts, you can use the "Historical articles" forum as usual.

Oldies but goldies: the LZ 129 Hindenburg

Hi, mates!

I just bought at minus 70% (Summer discounts in France !!! 5.79€ instead of 15.99€) a 1/720 Revell model of the well known Zeppelin LZ 129 Hindenburg, who burst into flames at Lakehurst the 6th of May 1937.

It should not be a great difficulty for a lazy papi (skill 3). I will send you photos as soon I finish this model ref. 04802.

As usual, Swastikas are absent from the decals but I easily will use the ones I got on special…
