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.

The news stand at the bigger supermarket near me had the Key Publishing bookazine on the (Hawker) Tempest.
"80 years after Hawker's piston-engine star took flight"

I'm sure I'll spend a few evenings with it.

I got that one, it's pretty good, full of techie and operational stuff.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

So did I.
Had to hunt for it on the shelves til I found the stack hidden behind a copy of Guitar World  :o  ;D

On the recommendation of several other members I went on-line and purchased the Key publications special on the Tempest. Haveing only glanced through it so far I concur with the recommendations made earlier  :thumbsup:

While in town picking up, hopefully my last pair of spectacles, more details in my blog, I took the opertunity to pop into W.H.Smiths and left with the November edition of Scale Aircraft Modelling due to the article on the F-111K, must do some more on my build some time..... and Issue 611 of Scale Aviation & Military Modeller International for the articles on the Blackburn Buccaneer.

Digital version of the November The Aeroplane. 

Easier than trying to track it down, I'd have to drive down to Seattle, plus it's easy to read
on my 12.9" iPad Pro.

earlier this week, i got the new book "Aircraft of the Belgian Air Force".
a new book with pictures and profiles of every aircraft to serve the BAF in the past 75 years (from 1946 to present and the future).
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

Postscript Books is a very dangerous website.  It can lead to excessive depletion of your resources if you are not careful.....................but I still recommend them!

Someone mentioned the above book in a post somewhereand at the price it was too good to miss. I am very selective with what I buy and could not manage to convince myself that I needed anything else other than anther book that should have been delivered today.

Sadly their search engine is rubbish, no matter what I write in the search box it comes up with 5 pages of stuff. All the same, every time!.   :banghead:

Agreed, the search engine is a mess!  However, getting their old-fashioned paper catalogue every month gives me a reasonable choice............

One of the books that drew a fair few of us to the Dark Side of modelling  :wacko:
