Many of you are familiar with the evolution of my photography since this site was created. I originally started taking close-up high focus pictures on a white shelf with as many bright lights as I could get to help improve the shutter speed with a large aperture. Looking for a more life like display I made a taxiway display on a 2' x 3' board with a turnoff and grass on both sides. Taxiway…

Hello, all members of the "Military Vehicles group" and AFVs amateurs!

We all noticed that we invaded the MAC site, especially these last posts (most of time: me and some others -LOL) !!! 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.

Could it be possible…

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…

Hey Guys.... Here is another blog post illustrating another encouraging factor to buy models. Today I am going to talk about stealth. I have been very interested in buying models of stealth aircraft. But before I share with you the photos of the stealthy models I own, let us first see what stealth is all about.



Since the inception of aircraft in war, militaries have been searching for ways to hide them from the eyes and…

We all collect aircraft models that have a certain significance to us. One of those factors of significance is speed.

Since the start of the cold war and until the introduction of 4rth generation jet aircraft, jet aircraft designers were interested in speed and altitude. They wanted their planes to go higher and faster. From there the race started. MiG-15s and F-86s fought each other in MiG Alley to start high speed jet dogfights. F-100 Super Sabres and MiG-19 Farmers broke…

I decided to go to the 2012 Cosford Airshow and it was the first time id ever been. 

I got there at about 9am and headed straight for the static, there was only one aircraft on the list missing and that was the French Air Force C-160 Transel but iv seen them before so its no big deal.

Here are the pics of the static displays:

Tthis was the first display! Pretty Cool!:…

We set off from Castle Donington at 07:15am and arrived via RAF Cranwell at 08:30 to meet Rick and the lads from Break Away Aviation Tours.

We entered the base at 10:30am and walked straight into the static display.

Well here are the pics, the sun was out for most of the day witch was a surprise as the forecast predicted Thunderstorms. Any way without further ado:

I saw a picture of this Hawk T.2 on www.fightercontrol.co.uk only a…

Looking for some opinions on box design and product, is this something you feel would be a quality product you would spend money on? Please bare in mind the target audience, those collecting British or RAF models, also retro collectors. I know they don't appeal to everyone, just trying to get some feedback on the presentation of the product and what level of quality you think it is, how much would you expect to pay for 1:200 models like this etc? Where would you expect to buy it etc. The box…

Iv always loved Classic British Aircraft especially Fighters and Test Development Aircraft.

Ever since I saw the "Vampire and Venom" display pair (Vampire and Meteor) I always wanted models of these aircraft.

I did plan on having both Aircraft in the same livery but certain things happened and they ended up being totally different.

I may add matching markings one day but at the min im happy with them.

Here are some pics of the Sea Venom and her Sister Meteor…

Hey all!
