excellent job on his 1/72
Airfix/Aeroclub Lightning T4.
Aaron finished his Lightning in one of those fantastic looking
colourful British paint schemes.

Pablo Calcaterra
is here with his
1/48 HobbyCraft Sea Harrier "SHAR Tales".
This article marks the 25th anniversary of the
of first engagement of the Argentine Airforce in Malvinas /
Falklands War. Pablo
has included much Argentinean info in
his article regarding this conflict which I hope will further add to
the knowledge base regarding this conflict. I can't believe
it's been 25 years.....I feel old......

Gabriel Stern
is here to
make you grin with another of his historical wonders. This is
his 1/72 Scratch-built Walco (Weckler-Armstrong-Lillie Co.) Airboat of 1913 complete
with his usual well written and amusing article to go with his wacky
early aircraft. This particular aircraft looks reminds me of
the Wright Flyer sitting on top of a canoe.....but have a look and
you be the judge.

gem.
