And with a quick wipe down of the bench, the Kinetic 1/48 F-5B is done and in the display case. It was a decent build, and served as a base for a dive into oil's (which I haven't seriously used in a while). #HistScaleModels #scalemodel #buildthestash

I've gotten the decals and weathering sorted and done on the 1/48 F-5B, and started the weathering on the 1/35 Academy Whiskey Cobra; which still needs oils done. Next up for the F-5B is the undercarriage. #HistScaleModels #modelkits #buildthestash #scalemodel

1. I have fully read and reported on the SCOTUS anti-trans BPJ ruling today. The decision is very bad, though not as bad as the worst case scenarios. It will still likely lead to mass discrimination in both red and blue states against trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I got my Kinetic 1/48 F-5B in and out of the paint booth for the first round of painting, there are a couple spots that need to be redone but I'm loving the post shading. #scalemodel #HistScaleModels #buildthestash #miniatures

Had to make some queer versions for pride

CNN: The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan administration was filling the reserve for the first time and when the United States had a smaller economy.

Made a start on the decals for the AH-1W and got the Kitty Hawk Twin Huey's cabin together. #HistScaleModels #Buildthestash #Scalemodels

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

This is how the New York Times is now choosing to celebrate the kick off pride month. Fuckin cunts.

Isradecal's T-6 Texan II is off the bench with a small tarmac vignette due to it turning into a tail sitter 🙃🫠🙃 #scalemodels #histscalemodels #buildthestash

This is nothing short of a bombshell. One of the most trusted media groups in Indonesia has released a report on Russian and Chinese influence operations in Indonesian social media, which blamed local protests on deliberate U.S. meddling. 🧵 1/

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

At least you have a chance when your left of center party is willing to fight for your rights. When they come back into power. But when both parties abandon you, you’ve lost for a generation.

"That's what happens when you elect Nigel Farage fans..." @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to two new Reform councillors admitting they don't know what they're doing.

I don't think most people have even tried to grasp how it feels for trans people to be segregated, hunted, betrayed by allies, met with silence and neutrality by friends & family, and then wake up every single day to see articles and polls asking if there's a Centrist Solution to the Trans Problem.

A bit of a read, but worth it.

Finally managed to get some paint onto my T-6, a couple touch spots need some TLC but it should be going in for clear coat and decals here soon. #histscalemodels #scalemodel #buildthestash

Hey guys... all done. 😁 #histscalemodels

1. Last week, we reported on an anti-trans conversion therapy panel that was snuck onto the PAS conference, a premier academic pediatric conference. It appears the event was a major flop, with heavy protests and a half empty room. Read the full story here. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My T-38 Talon sporting the Gray Greens tri-colour scheme. Still lots to do, but now I can see how it’s going to look 👀 when completed #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Finally got the paint on and the masks off for my Academy AH-1W. #scalemodel #modelkits #histscalemodels

So, the last 24-30 hours (open source): F-15E lost, 1 pilot rescued 2x HH-60W damaged A-10 damaged by Iran, crashes, pilot reported ok F-16 Squawk 7700, Iraq. Landed safely. MQ-9 shot down, Shiraz. +1 possible shot down MQ-9. 2x KC-135 Squawk 7700, Israel. Will come back to this if/when more info.

I'm really starting to fall in love with the green/grey/black AH-1W Cobra paint scheme 😍😀😍 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Before and after on the skids for the AH-1W, Academy only gives a small cylinder for the towing eyelets, which promptly broke off while attempting to drill out. It always tickles me a bit what I can print off in terms of replacements. #scalemodel #modelkits

I've finally started to feel like I'm making progress with my F-16 as it moves out of filling and sanding hell, and my AH-1W is starting to the gears turning. I cooked up some FOD plugs and a replacement 20mm muggle wand. #scalemodel #scalemodelling #histscalemodels

Behind Closed Doors, U.S. Navy Says Hormuz Escorts Are Too Dangerous—for Now gcaptain.com/behind-close...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

I finally got my USS Coronado kit finished up. #scalemodel #scalemodels #histscalemodel #plasticmodel #modelkit

Drop something green, #scalemodels #scalemodel #histscalemodels

*long quiet* *gentle rustling breeze* *uncomfortable silence* Me: does this mean the F-15 perfect A2A record is toast?

If you've been watching the ongoing Epstein files unraveling across Europe, note that the dominoes didn't start falling until one fell. And then another. Finally, the momentum in societies shifted. It will be the same within this administration. They have to remain united. Lest one domino fall.

I definitely picked the wrong kit to be my first ship in 10 years, but the USS Coronado is finally into the home stretch, *most* of the PE railings are drying now. It'll still need some oil weathering but its getting there. #scalemodels #wipwednesday #histscalemodels #scalemodelling #shipmodels

Ah, so now the FCC is directly censoring political opposition in media. www.forbes.com/sites/siladi...

Yikes, what a thread...

1. In a stunning new poll released by Fox News, voters prefer the Democratic Party to the Republican Party on transgender issues at a staggering +22 points. This includes white voters, rural white voters, black voters, protestants, and moms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

And the companion to my Israeli Tzefa cobra, the 2nd part of my Den of Vipers side by side build, Kitty Hawk's AH-1Z Viper Self designed folded rotor blades and FOD covers Decals from Flying Leathernecks #ScaleModel #scalemodels #histscalemodels #usmc

Finished off the Special Hobby 1/48 Tzefa, I had a lot of fun, and it was nice to take a break from the grey's. #scalemodel #scalemodels #ah-1 #cobra #histscalemodels

Useless, weak, pathetic centrist Democrats: People are persuadable. Public opinion can shift. In one week, a small majority has now turned against ICE. Imagine if you actually messaged accordingly, led by example, and stood up for justice? That number would shoot to 60% by the end of next week.

The jobs report is in. What a disaster.

Make it viral.
