And then here's the ring which has the 4 tanks, named retrograde adaptor here, other than that it is a color image, I don't know anything about it, flight article? Mockup? Doing a Google reverse image search on the image got clocks, not exactly useful. https://spacerockethistory.com/?p=979

also unpainted, https://archive.org/details/S65-54194 I'm not sure what "B&W" at end of text about a color image is for. Image has look of original color, not of having been colorized.

Why is it that D-Day stripes suit an A-10 so well?

I remember when a number of Tamiya 1/35 tank models had motors powered by either a pair of C batteries or AA depending on tank size. Was great for authentic instant weathering, just go run them through a mudpuddle! My M36 and brother's M10 actually trapped enough air under their upper hulls to float and swim with track propulsion! Yeah, the motors got a little damp but nothing a hair dryer couldn't cure during post-mission maintenance. Eventually we took sheet and tube styrene and managed to make lower hulls somewhat more water resistance. At some point a I got a secon

And that seems to share at same size the Flickr image is.

I don't post much progress any more but that is a thing I will work on remembering, thanks!

At 10:05 that connects with where that unless it is a game miniature I'm always afraid to pick up someone else's model; I didn't build it and don't know where its strong and weak points are. A lot of that goes as far back as late 1970s when a friend okayed me picking up his Tamiya Panzer 2 and even though I was a more prolific tank builder at the time, in picking up Tripp's tank I managed to break off 2 of the return rollers. 😞 Yes, that still bugs me all these decades later!

No kidding? I don't recall knowing that. There's not all that much to a 1/72 F-104, so the price was probably reasonable.

This indoor test of a large Saturn I model looked like it might be of interest. I don't know what is being tested and the post doesn't say. But ya know, the scene could make a neat diorama. https://thevaultoftheatomicspaceage.tumblr.com/post/628948600011079680

Working with several different paint brands will allow for building up a knowledge base of their specific quirks & will enable brand mixing to be tested. Both allow you to answer questions asked by others & allow flexibility should one or more brands not be available at some point.

Thanks for sharing this bit of aircraft history from San Diego ASM's channel.
