On that day 134 sailor were killed on board Forrestal in a fire caused by a miss fired zuni rocket and aggravated by ancient ordinance cooking off in the resulting fire and explosions. The bronze plaque with the names of the dead once hung [...]
Hi! Today I have for you 2 brand new build! They are both in 1/72 scale. The first one is the Mirage 2000D. For this model I've choosed a revell kit. It was a great kit with lot of details, I would say 7/10. The second is the Rafale [...]

By early 1948 the Blue Angels were [...]
