THE HOME OF USAF MODELLING IN 1/72

SIGBlog...

29th April 2013

Our next show will be the Coventry & Warwickshire IPMS Model Show on Sunday 23rd June at the the Midland Air Museum (Coventry Airport). We had a very nice time there last year and the museum is certainly worth a visit. 

 

I have yet to take the pictures to prove it but my B-58A is coming along nicely where as the RB-47E has stalled - I'm trying to figure a way to model the clear windows in the forward compartment which ofcourse is a solid lump of resin ! I have to admit I have also been side tracked by adding to my collection of Ground Equipment and vehicles, again pictures to follow on the forum.

 

And remember folks - if you have any USAF related articles or photos (models or real world) we would love to host them on here. Please contact the webmaster or me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

 

Cheers,

Haydn.
