Hi all!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying springtime here in the Northern Hemisphere. I know our members "Down Under" are heading into their winter and hope to see some new build threads coming out of Australia, New Zealand and other countries south of the Equator.

Not much news this month. Be sure and check out the new "Plans Repository" under "Site Supporter" on the site menu if you have a Site Supporter subscription. If you are still a Basic Member you are missing out! We currently have over 50 giant scale plans you can download with your subscription and are adding more every week. Plus you get a great down-loadable walk-around every month with your subscription. So what are you waiting for?  

If you are new to RCSB be sure and check out the "About Us, F.A.Q., and the rules listed at the top of every forum. We want you to feel comfortable and welcome here in our community so be sure and post a "hello" thread in the "Introduce Yourself" forum. We are glad you found us!

That's about it until next month. Hope you all have fair winds and smooth landings.

Until next time,
Mike

This month's download is a great collection of images of Focke-Wulf Fw 44 taken member Alan Yendle (Alan) at the Military Aviation Museum ( http://www.fighterfactory.com/ )in Virginia Beach, VA. There are 56 high resolution images of this aircraft and everything you need is here including some great close-up shots of various detail.

This is a very nice subject and a MUST for your walk around collection. If you are a RCSB Site Supporter you can download the .zip file by going to "Site Supporter" and "Downloads" on the site menu or click on the link below.

Please join me in welcoming our two new advertisers here on RCSB. The U.S. Scale Masters Association (USSMA) and  The National Association of Scale Aeromodelers (NASA). Both of these organizations strive to promote scale modeling and scale competition, and I salute their insight into joining us as a supporting vendor here on RCSB. If you are even minutely interested in scale modeling here in the U.S. you should be a member of both of these organizations.

Please take a moment and visit their site by either clicking on the links below or clicking on their banner ad when it appears on a page.
