Excellent book, but enough to make a Brit weep. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Received an eBay purchase today


Had to rearrange my Library to fit it in as it's one large tomb.

I was hoping they'd do translations of other books in the Vom Original Zum Modell series,
I have Dornier Do X and Fw 200: Vol.1 Civil versions, in German. They also did
a series of naval subjects, ships and submarines.

Received an Amazon delivery, by a fairly thin woman  :rolleyes:

Famous Russian Aircraft: Mikoyan MiG-23 & MiG-27 by Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Komissarov

This was reduced to a little over £25 from the £44 it's advertised at, could not really say no to that. I also happen to know exactly where my little collection of 1/72 Hasegawa kits are of these aircraft type are too. Just need to find somewhere to put it as it's almost 4cm thick!

Got hold of a copy of Amanda Foreman's A World On Fire. 940 pages on the American Civil War, but from a British perspective.

Should keep me going for a bit
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Another for American Secret Projects 3.  Chock full of tubby wonders.  :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Mine's coming tomorrow, with luck.  ;D
