Another late B-day B-24 Bomber!
I thought this snap-together kit would be quick. Well, it was quicker than previous birthday bomber builds I’ve done, but I had to turn to using glue to get a better fit of the parts, and I used aftermarket decals. Instead of being months late it was only a few days late.
After I glued it together I discovered it is a tail-sitter.
While gluing the fuselage thirds together I discovered the Meng plastic is like the old Trumpeter kits; you have to prep the mating parts by sanding them and use glue designed for multiple plastics.
The kit’s Leo zodiac decal is not as detailed as the box art. But the person getting this kit is a Gemini so I used an aftermarket decal set by Kits World.

For the final finish I used my favorite spray-can flat clear paint. Not only does it give a uniform finish that is not ‘heavy’ looking, but it makes rebellious decals settle down and flatten out (but be careful, if you spray too much it will dissolve the decals! You don’t need a lot of the spray paint to get the effect).

Yemen’s Houti military says it will resume attacks on shipping & the U.S. Navy if Iran is attacked by the United States!
The Resistance (Houti, Hamas, Hezbollah) say Israel’s actions in Gaza & Iran are part of a new ‘Sykes-Picot’ plan. NATO Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that NATO Turkey will not allow a new Eurocentric ‘Sykes-Picot’ division of the region!

427 Chevelle SS!
A mid/late-1960s Chevrolet watched the Tadd Jenkins auto-show-burnout event in Blackfoot, Idaho, 07JUN2025. However, the Super Sport left quietly, without saying goodbye (I wanted to make more pics & vids)!
Here’s some of what video I did get:

Tri-Five: A smokin’ ’57!
Donald John Trump now joining war against Iran, claims he won’t assassinate a world leader but then adds “at least not for now.” Trump also demanded “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” of Iran. Creates Middle East Task Force to facilitate evacuation of U.S. citizens.
U.S. Army Soldiers’ quiet protest of President, live on TV?
I tried watching the military parade in DC, at least half of the Soldiers were out-of-step so bad it’s pathetic. As a Cold War veteran I was insulted, we spent hours per day during Basic just marching around, even parade marching. I had to stop watching the DC parade. However, social media posts are claiming that the out-of-step Soldiers were protesting Trump! I reviewed the videos and it does look like they are intentionally marching out-of-step.
