Day in the US. This is a special time when family members travel
large distances to get home for a special family dinner of
Turkey. Airports and highways are very busy with

for Christmas. If you are traveling.....drive with care....and
enjoy this weekend with your family.

J.C.
Bahr begins today's update
with his beautifully done 1/72
Academy B-24J. The B-24 is often overlooked and seldom built.....at least seldom seen on

this one to match a plane flown by a veteran he knows.
|
|
|
|
|

After
updating ARC on Sunday, I defragged my C Drive in my computer....this
drive is defragged regularly, so the defragging went smoothly and was
fairly swift. I then decided to defrag my D-Drive which is very full
and hasn't been defragged in a long time. Defragging this D-Drive
took a slow and painful 34 hours!!! I was stunned how long it took,
but thankfully my computer does run better. With my computer
defragging itself....I ended up being offline.
|
|
|
Ted Sachs Jr.
is
here today with his first article on ARC. Ted would like to show you
his 1/1
Scale F-16 Cockpit. I've considered doing this sort of
project myself.......and I'm glad Ted sent in pics of his
cockpit. Very cool indeed. Ted might do up a more detailed
article for ARC if you e-mail him and ask real nice. It all
depends on the feedback he gets.

Leander
Niederhauser is
here with his 1/48
Italeri Tornado ECR “Tigermeet 1996”. This is by far one of the

schemes.....but still a very attractive looking Tiger. Leander did this
scheme justice....very nice.
|
|
|
|
|
Matt
Swan is building a
B-17. But he's converting it to a E Version. Here's his
review of the 1/48

going to have quite the B-17.

Daniel
Butcher has dropped by with some photos to lift
your grey winter blues......here's some Southend

Nov 11
has
always had a very strong significance for me. It is the day my
country (and others) will pause in solemn remembrance of the many, many people that have
died in war. It is a day to honour the Veterans and remember the men
and women that never came home from war. My Grand Dad served in
every major battle of WW1 with the British Army and was wounded
twice. My Dad served in the Far East with the British Army and later
had a long Career with the Canadian Army in many hot spots as a UN
Peacekeeper. Today's update is dedicated to the goal of
peace.....never loose sight of that goal. I wanted to also run a
New Zealand, Belgium,
and Portugal aircraft
today as well as aircraft from other countries that show remembrance on
Nov 11, but I didn't
have any articles featuring these country's aircraft. My apologies to
everyone in these countries that mark Nov 11 as a day of
remembrance and are not featured in today's models. Send me an
article for next Nov 11 and I will include it.

some photos and info about his
