It had long been rumoured that Peter Tiechman, owner of the Hangar 11 Collection based at North Weald, would repaint his P-51D into a new and authentic scheme. It was already known that the Mustang (serial 44-72035) had served with the 332nd Fighter Group, more famously known as The Tuskegee Airmen. To this day the aircraft still carries evidence of its wartime service in the form of patched bullet holes across the fuselage. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators and became commonly known as the ‘Red Tails’ after they started painting the tails and bands on the noses of their aircraft a striking red colour. Therefore it is somewhat fitting that the Mustang be returned to a scheme representative of the unit with which it once served.
Female Siamese Fighter. A couple of months ago she was really sick - all her fins and most of her tail were missing. She's recovered well.
A group of steam driven fighters inspired by the movie Steamboy from Katsuhiro Otomo.
A bit of the story behind these planes is that they were invented in the future, after an industrial apocalypse caused the common people to have to revert back to the more pure power of steam, and the technology was advanced like never before. The rebel factions trying to overcome the Industrial Empire quickly invented chambers capable of highly compressing steam beyond any limit known before, and invented the fighters capable of utilizing this new power. They are equipped with steam hoses leading to jets on the back for extra speed, as well as normal props to assist in take off. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

We visited this girls owner last weekend, where I was photographing the ceiling tiles in the hon-do (main building of worship) that were hand painted by the parishioners over a hundred years ago.
I learned her story:
When she was a tiny kitten, she had fallen through the floor boards at one of the shrines in the area, and her head got stuck. She dangled there for what they suspect was days, until her new owners children heard her mewing for her life on their way to school. Since this is *very* rural Japan, they didn't expect her to even survive until they could get her to a vet days later. Her skull had been crushed from dangling there and struggling for such a long time, and she was very dehydrated and lost a lot of blood from where it had caved in.
But fight she did, and proved she's a survivor. She's nearly a year old now, and the sweetest thing you can imagine, and has the whole of their temple grounds to play in.

born William Ward in Norfolk VA
American boxer
"Norfolk was a short and stocky fighter who was quick and powerful; He possessed a natural instinct for fighting and took on all-comers, large or small; In a career of 103 bouts, he lost just 15 - against top-flight, world-class competition; The "Kid" is one of the super, over-looked fighters in boxing history who should have had a title shot but never received it
During his career, he defeated such men as Harry Greb, Billy Miske, Battling Siki, Jeff Clark, "Tiger" Flowers, Lee Anderson, Jack Blackburn, Arthur Pelkey, "Big" Bill Tate, Tom Cowler, George Robinson, Dan "Porky" Flynn, Clay Turner, Black Fitzsimmons, Jamaica Kid, John Lester Johnson and James "Tut" Jackson."
Here's this crazy thing from the bottom. Heavy missile racks, snot contouring, folding landing gear - it's got all the right ingredients. So why is it so awful.

After barely escaping imperial fleest with the old Z-AV, Kass Mothma realized that he needed more speed and better control, with that in mind he decided to do some modifications to it, to keep it lightweight, the laser canon had been removed and replaced with 4 homing ion missiles and laser turrets, for better control wings were added, and for more speed a much powerful central engine installed along with maneuver assist engines at the end of the wings for a much needed agilty and renamed the fighter T-AG for its shape an agility.

Feel free to comment, I will comment one of yours! But still be honest
McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle of the 335th Fighter Squadron "Chiefs" from Seymour Johnson AFB participating in Red Flag 14-3 exercises at Nellis AFB. A review of the exercise can be found at www.airshowsreview.com/2014_Red_Flag_2014-3_Exercise.htm .
How I spent most of my Saturday. I wanted to build a minifig-scale air/space fighter that was as small as possible while still looking "fly-able". The wings fold over the top for an even smaller profile. Gonna finish the cockpit and play around with different colors as soon as a couple Bricklink orders come in. Hopefully, I'll be using several of these little guys in a larger upcoming project. Hint: carrier.
