Review: A very serious book recommendation

by Tom Cleaver on March 15, 2014 · in Reviews · 7 ≡

As someone now recognized myself as a military historian, it's easy to say that the military historian who has been my greatest influence is Sir Max Hastings. In case you missed his book released in Europe as "All Hell Let Loose" [...]

by Josh Patterson on March 14, 2014 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I really gotta stop this stuff and get started on my D-Day build! I finally got around to building (and actually finishing) Monogram's F-101B! Now I like the Phantom, and the Demon is interesting to look at, but I think McDonnell's best [...]

Meng Char 2C 1/35

by Merrill Anderson on March 12, 2014 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is the Meng kit, I can't say enough about the engineering of the kit, it's the best I've ever encountered. I haven't weathered or decalled it yet, (weathering will be 'severe', the upper run tracks make a real mess, according to the [...]
