Hey Guys, I just finished adding multiple new lines of lab-grade paint/thinner storage bottles to Model Paint Solutions. I've been wanting to expand our selection of bottles for a while.....:) https://modelpaintsol.com/news/lab-grade-paint-storage-bottles As with our previous bottles, all are resistant to lacquers and enamels, come with stainless mixing balls, a pouring funnel and instructions for applying gradations and preparing percent-volume dilutions. Thanks!! --John

This is a new book by aviation author Chris Banyai-Riepl that utilizes photographs from his father's extensive library of quality aviation photographs. Will Riepl was an accomplished modeler but fortunately for us, he was very handy with a camera. The book features pictures of NAS Seattle both "then and now" as well as an extensive collection of Naval aircraft in their element. Of note are the photographs of AD-5 Skyraiders and T-28 Trojans complete with well-worn, exhaust-stained airframes. https://modelpaintsol.com/reviews/naval-air-station-seattle-warchive-photo-series-vol-1 This book will serve as an awesome reference for those looking to replicate the looks of a well-worn Skyraider Thanks for reading along! --John
