Vanuatu Independence Day
|
I've been
busy this morning giving bike riding lessons to my two girls. This
involves me doing plenty of running and holding onto the seat as I
encourage them to pedal faster and faster. All rather tiring for
this somewhat out of shape mid 40's modeller. I hope they learn
fast, so I can go back to my lazy ways.

I'm
pleased to welcome a new Sponsor to ARC. Afterburner
Decals
was created by Mike Reeves and Scott Brown to provide markings for
modern jet subjects. It will focus mostly

on modern
USAF/USN subjects, and include many
squadrons that have never been done before, but will expand to include a
variety of subjects from the modern jet era. Printing is by MicroScale,
the best in the industry, and the research comes mostly from private
contacts within the squadrons that are featured, so the accuracy level is
difficult to top. Detailed color instructions are included that provide
information on the history of the subjects, modeling tips and weapons
loads. Buy their
sheets at the Twobobs table at the Nationals
