    Invasion USA 1952

    Found this old American film from 1952 which has some good stock footage of early 50s combat aircraft ranging from B29s and B36 to a model Mig 15. View: https://youtu.be/Mg8a9UMqSzY Typical anti Commie era film but full of period flavour.

    Laser Battle Station Model Kit Inspiration

    I recently bought a NIB copy of the Revell "Laser Battle Stations" model kit from 1984. There were a number of other kits released at the same time that all have connections to reports and concepts (see images) but these "laser battle stations" are a bit hard to place.
