Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: April 2011

http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. I got the bumps! More on the Dragon 'Galland' Bf 109E build. I've been making notes as I go of any errors I find in the kit and so far these have only been of a minor nature. The nose machine gun detail is very nice but unfortunately it gets int he way of the cowling fitting correctly over the nose. The solution is either don't put the cowling on or hack the ammunition chutes with a hobby knife so the cowling will fit. If Tamiya had made...While...

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models: March 2011

http://spitfiresintheantipodesmodels.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Spitfires in the Antipodes Models. Saturday, March 12, 2011. A few more comments on Bf 109 kit. As I build this kit I'm constantly reminded that it is not a Tamiya Spitfire. Building the kit really does illustrate just how good the Tamiya Spitfire kits are and leads one to ask the question, why is it that no other manufacturer can match them. Take a look at the photo of the tailwheel of the Dragon kit. It has nicely molded detail but look at all those molding tabs, all three of them! Is the kit 'bad'?

Spitfires in the Antipodes: October 2010

http://spitfiresintheantipodes.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Recently I saw a most interesting BBC documentary on the ATA pilots during WWII. This small band of women pilots ferried all types of RAF aircraft including the Spitfire. If you have an interest in WWII aviation this is a must see documentary. Spitfires in the Antipodes. Friday, October 1, 2010. Spitfire and P-40 Research Night BOOKED OUT.

Spitfires in the Antipodes: History forgotten

http://spitfiresintheantipodes.blogspot.com/2011/06/history-forgotten.html

Monday, June 6, 2011. I was somewhat disappointed that there was virtually no mention in the mainstream media of the Battle of Midway on the 4 June 1942 and the D-Day landings on 6 June 1944. In the Battle of Midway the US Navy inflicted a devastating blow upon the Imperial Japanese Navy that turned the tide of the Pacific War in favour of the US and her allies.

Spitfires in the Antipodes: August 2011

http://spitfiresintheantipodes.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 16, 2011. CEASE FIRE ORDERED, 15 AUGUST 1945. The Empire of Japan capitulates, the war is over! I was not surprised to find no mention at all by the mass media of this historic event that occurred yesterday all those years ago. Does it matter? I for one think it does. We should remember our past and acknowledge that it is no accident we enjoy freedom and peace in Australia. Spitfires in the Antipodes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Spitfires in the Antipodes: July 2011

http://spitfiresintheantipodes.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 10, 2011. Mid-air crash at Duxford airshow. A P-51 Mustang (actually a Commonwealth CA-18), 'Big Beautiful Doll' and a French Douglas Skyraider collided in mid-air while banking away after a formation fly-past at low level. The Skyraider lost a large part of its starboard wing in the collision but landed safely. The pilot of the Mustang parachuted to safety leaving the aircraft to crash into a field. Both pilots were miraculously uninjured. Spitfires in the Antipodes.
