Re: A Belgian Pioneer
The Belphégor is wonderful. Really my sort of aircraft. You wonder about the design process that led to using what was essentially a He177 power plant. The look of the front end suggests the engineers thought they could always add another air intake but ran out of space.

Re: Adolf Galland's Bf-109E - France 1940 (Armory kit)
Herr Hauptmann, will one bottle of Vallejo 70.995 be enough for this tank?

Re: Yak-1b (Armory) somewhere in Russia, 1943
That photographer certainly gets around. He is taking a picture in one of my Arctic doramas, too. A small correction is needed to the North Star figure; he appears to be using a Fed-1, whereas a captured Leica III would be more likely at that stage in the Great Patriotic War. Some might think this a...

Re: Five projects
This is the finest work I've ever seen in 1/144 scale. We need you to hold a master class!
SO.4000
Rather unusually, this early 50s French prototype didn't crash on its first flight, and never killed anyone, although it was only flown once. This probably related to a realisation that it was a lot of airframe, with a lot of rear-facing structure, for two early Nenes. The front fuselage of this air...

Why no UAP models in our scale?
Apologies for posting an item about 1/72nd scale. Good to see this in Forthcoming Releases, though, following the publication yesterday of the following: https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf (Main aircraft image mostly USN believed to be in publi...

A Belgian Pioneer
The world's first pressurised airliner, the Renard R.35. Unfortunately it crashed early in its first flight, fatally for the pilot and the project. The cutaway in an 80s Air international does not show provision for a toilet, so there may have been multiple pressures had it entered service.

Re: SF.260 and MiG-21 - Tobruk, 2017
I'm very taken with these!
I wasn't really aware of Heroes Models but they appear to do some useful stuff.

Re: Clark GA-43
Lovely model: had this on my build list in my 30s airliner phase but then the kit came out. Hope the kit is a good enough seller to persuade WM to do more. Power loading was only a little poorer than the contemporary He70 and as Rolls selected one of those as a high performance tested the GA43 was p...

Re: A prototype for David : Bernard 260
I have noticed the Bernard aircraft and I really like your model. I suspect that if I started on French 1930s fighter prototypes I would never stop! There was a good series of articles on the 1930s French fighter programmes in Air Enthusiast magazine in the 80s. My current projects are a postwar Fre...
