We were lucky enough to see the exotic and dynamic aircraft at this year's RIAT Airshow in RAF Fairford in the UK. We took a bunch of pictures of the impressive aircraft and vehicles there, and we have it today for you in our photo-essay of the day and event.

Verlinden 2650 Jagdflieger Tactics & 2651 Jagdflieger Aces
Whilst looking at the latest offerings from Verlinden this month, I saw two very interesting new kits. They caught my eye because they were both depicting pilots/crew of Luftwaffe aircraft from WWII in a scale that is severely bereft of figures to choose from. It seems if you model in 1/32 scale there are scant choices for "out of the cockpit" diorama figures around, and so I thought we must take a closer look at these.
