At the beginning of August, I had the opportunity for a long-overdue visit to see Ray. Ray showed me the inaugural P-40 Warkhawk model along with his progress on 3D printing Captain Nemo's Nautilus. We enjoyed lunch at the nearby burger stand, in operation since 1961.
I didn't spend too much time in the workshop this month except to start a long-needed clean-out and add additional lighting. My new timber workbench is still doing well and holding up nicely.
I did receive a number of plans for Airway's 3-inch model airplanes, which all have 3-inch wingspans. The tiny plans are dated 1940, though they appear to have been printed later during World War II - some of the balsa has been substituted by pressed-card as non-military supplies of balsa wood became scarce. I look forward to going through these plans and sharing them with the group.

I am finally taking a break from house hunting. No results yet. My first three choices were sold before I could get here. At home, my collections are packed and waiting for the mover on 25 Sep so I had better find something soon.
The RCAF models are still admired at the Gander Museum and will be picked up on 19 Sep. The boxes I used to take them there are quite suitable for the next journey to my new home.
I expect to be at it again before the new year.

F8-U crusader was coming along nicely until I realized I was over zealous with a mini plane. Scrapped that fuselage and started a new one. Hopefully will have more available time in the upcoming weeks to complete the model.
