This is part of the Osprey Modelling series and its one of the best. There are mulitple builds in all the popular scales and one fantastic All Metal finish one. Photos are clear if perhaps a little small in certain cases, but there are techniques and painting tips galore. The only thing you have to realize that this is not a A6M reference book, is a reference for building the model in terms of painting and adding details. With that in mind, it’s a great book.

This is ICM's P-51B in my continuing series on Tex Hill's aircrafts.

The Invalides is a museum complex located inside the city of Paris. Housed next to Napolean's tomb, the facility is still a functioning museum for injured soliders. Inside is the a few museum dominated by the Army Museum. The WW1 - WW2 museum is quite good, but the real jewel is for the Napoleanic wars. If  you are into that period, this is a must see, I only took a few pictures of those exhibits as they are all behind glass and diffcult to captures. But there are literally, hundreds of uniforms and arms. A must see - almost all signage is in French.

Located in the famous town of St. Mere Eglise. You know the one, where the US paratroopers landed during a fire and 2 men hung from the church tower for hours. The town is definitely a bit touristy, but is still a must see.

Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie is located in the town of Bayeux, in Normandie, France. One of the many tribute museums related to D-Day in the area. Worth a visit, especially if you are staying in town as the central point of your Normandie visit. The British war cementary is right near by, a easy 5 minute walk. Unforunately, they don't have a website, so here's the contact information:

Tamiya 1/48 range built up with Black Dog's accessory kit, which includes snow chain tires, canvas top, and a wonderful assortment of 'stuff' to put in the back.

This was actually part of the SuperModel double kit - the Falco and the AB40 armor car.

After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Thailand surrendered. Chennault feared that the AVG position in Toungoo was too precarious so he ordered the 3rd Squadron to Mingaladon in Rangoon to support the British, while the 1st and 2nd Squadron was to pull back to Kunming, China.
