Sharky Wildcat (Martlet)
Here is a neat idea if you mess up the engine, cockpit or prop on your Arma or Airfix Wildcat. Sadly, the only details are "Cleverly decorated cowling hood of a Wildcat fighter plane standing ready on an Eastern Fleet Station 'drome." © IWM A 25551. This might make a good excuse to try that VMS Paper Shaper that Uncle Nightshift has talked about.

Unique Seattle Aviation Attraction
This isn't going to be popular with everyone, but I finally got to the Capital Hill Station to see the "Jet Kiss" sculpture. Created by artist Mike Ross, it was installed in 2015 and consists of the remains of two A-4 Skyhawks. Sadly, one of them is one of the oldest surviving Skyhawks, A4D-1 (or A-4A, if you prefer, BuNo. 139945 (in pink) and A-4C BuNo. 147722 (in magenta).

Remembering John Cate
We got some bad news on Saturday at the NWSM show that local modeler John Cate passed away. John had been struggling with a brain tumor for a few years. He was an excellent modeler and especially knowledgeable on 30s aviation. John was always a true gentleman and loved to talk modeling and aviation. Rest in piece my friend, and check out John Miller's tribute along with some photos of Mr. Cate's DH.4. The header photo is John's 1/72 Sea Vampire build from the Cyberhobby kit. It was one of the last few models he finished along with a Matchbox 1/72 Norseman that was in my Canadian Aviation display at the Museum of Flight. The Norseman is pictured below.
