1/72nd Minicraft PBM-5 Mariner

by Jim Sullivan on June 29, 2017 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

I found the Minicraft PBM-5 to be an enjoyable build but not without its challenges. For the most part, the kit is nicely engineered with clean crisp parts and finely recessed panel lines. On the negative side, I found that the PBM-5 is a [...]

by Paul Barber on June 29, 2017 · in Aviation · 7 ≡

I happened recently to re-read some of the material on Hanna Reitsch's flights in the Me 163 B. On YouTube I then revisited her famous description of 'riding on a canon-ball' in an interview and clip that related her 5th flight in the [...]
