Things have been complicated this week
resulting in a weak blog.
I won't even attempt to explain.
Yogi Berra died.
My Invicta, a copy of a 1958 Russian Hardhat divers watch.
50mm diameter.
It has run perfectly for years.
Yes the little hard hat diver guy on the watch's face is a modern addition
as is the calendar function and the GMT hand.
The original run of watches ordered by the Soviets were totally plain,
and 8mm larger than my current copy.
The Invicta is about as close as one can get to the original today.
I am considering an attempt to build a more perfect copy
this winter--if i can obtain the proper supplies?

I have, for all intents and purposes, I completed the TU-26 project.
No diorama for this large aircraft.
This was an older kit, without real detail.
It did however build up fairly well giving a decent representation of the aircraft.

I may detail yet a bit more--it's really hard to say at this point.
I have displayed it as if it is sitting on a runway preparing for take off.
I did add a 1/72nd figure to the runway at the front of the aircraft giving
the thumbs up--after this photograph was taken to give the aircraft perspective.

The next project will be the Mig-25 Foxbat.
A brute of a fighter aircraft...
One of the fastest, highest altitude aircraft ever in
mass production.
