I still do aviation photography, on occasion. Here, an Antonov AN-12 sits on the ramp at Toledo Express. It was here for several days beginning last week.

I am very pleased so far by the precision and ease of construction of the 1/48 Academy A-10C. Pictured is the right wing. The empennage went together similarly well. The only small issue is a step on the leading edges of the wings where the halves meet, and that’ll take some massaging to correct.

Rare plane alert at TOL today. SkyTaxi, a very small Polish cargo charter airline, flew a 767-300ER in today, direct from Zaragoza, Spain. SkyTaxi only operates three aircraft.

MotoAmerica at Mid-Ohio, on a Fujifilm X100VI. One would think it a most inappropriate camera for this subject, and yet they are probably my favorite photos from the event.
Next race, even if I don't take the X100VI, I'll take a ~35mm lens. The wide shots were cool.

Took some photos of my model of F-16C Block 42 90-0702 this morning, in the lightbox. Pretty happy with this one although there are some definite issues with it. Not contest grade but fine for a shelf viewed from three feet away.

Got the squirrel cage blower attached and tested the motor. The thing is quieter than the fan in the cheap mass produced paint booth I currently use, and it moves a ton of air. It'll still be some time before the booth is installed and on-line.

In the process of building a better modeling paint booth with my dad over the last few days. I was able to incorporate a 16x20 furnace filter rack, which made construction of that part simpler. Going to attach a Dayton 1/20 HP squirrel cage blower to the back, and vent outside.

I built one of those a few years ago when I was first getting back into modeling. Fit was a huge issue, but I took that kit on as a learning tool where I didn’t care about the final output too much. I wanted some experience before tackling my F-16s.
