Many of you know I spend a bunch of time at airshows, and while costs may see me at fewer this year there is one I had to share. 25 years ago I went to the best air show I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot. It was the 50th bithday for the Air Force, and the 50th anniversary of Yeager breaking the sound barrier. The place was Edwards Air Force Base. This year it is the 75th, and again probably the best line up you will ever see, minus General Yeager unfortunately. Everything the Air Force, and NASA has in the air and on the ground at the most hallowed place in aviation. I have a room reserved around the corner from the air and space port in Mojave. If you ever go to an airshow it's this one. They just re launched the web page so they are still adding stuff. https://avairshow.com/

Thank goodness! I've been waiting for a 35th Kate so I can finally build that diorama with my KH Blackhawk.

If you look closely you can see the IP for my SU 25, and that is why I don't do wip's.

It is, thanks Jim

Ambitious.....

Wish someone would address this

I haven't been able to upload via Add Files for two days

Random photo's meaning like two or three of an entire build, if that. Nothing to follow.

There aren't build threads there, just random pictures.

Its been fun. People have posted pics of pets on the bench, booze, bongs, food, builds, tools, you name it.

Some people don't like doing complete WIPs. I just post a pic once and a while so people know what I'm up to. Also isn't the content of a thread up to the O.P?

Ya I understood his reasoning as well. You know that aircraft and the 144th spent a good deal of time in Ukraine a few years ago training and doing excercises with the Ukrainian Air Force. Found a new scheme at Travis in May that I like though.

Nosferatu!

Nice build....I feel like I've seen that F-15 before. Forgive me for the mug shot. I begged Jake to do this in 32nd, but no go.

I don!t know how to say Happy Birthday in Canadian. Have a blessed day Wolf!

Peter, Martin started this thread for a specific reason.

One already exists...well out of stock here but still. https://spruebrothers.com/mdv72006-1-72-modelsvit-antonov-an-225-mriya/

Unfortunately I have to be able to pay my bills and eat, so fingers crossed for San Marcos. Thanks for offering the couch for a nite, Mike!

I used to really enjoy Great Models Webstore. What a shame. I have seen their prices are absurd as well. Scalehobbyist and Sprue!

Academy Hornets always come un handy!
