Title: June 2024 Ping
Post by: lastvautour on June 01, 2024, 06:51:25 PM
The forum received a whopping 2,345,026 views in May. Unfortunately, Dave pointed out that the source was more than likely bots from the Google site in Columbus Ohio. Five models were submitted:

Gordon - 1/48 Bell XP-77

The bots failed to visit the gallery, however, we still received 12,307 views which is a slight increase over the previous month. Our current gallery total is 4,507,417 views.

Have you changed over to 1/72 for two seaters?

Yes, kinda. They'd just be too big for my display cases otherwise.

That is the main reason I do 1/72.

Lou

My two WWI aircraft were built in 2010. Note no rigging, a situation I plan on rectifying with my Albacore.
