Listen Later

What happens when winter weather in Kentucky meets the Plastic Model Mojo crew? We dive into the challenges of maintaining our modeling schedules amidst the chill and share our excitement for the upcoming model show season, including a much-anticipated trip to Columbus, and  for the Moosaroo Cup.

Our mailbag is buzzing with some great listener mail, like one from Rock Rozak at Detail and Scale about their release of the P-51 Mustang book series, or a short discussion on decluttering, inspired by Jake McKee's keepsake dilemma, and Ville Jurvanen's  journey to polish skills with shiny 2K clear coats.

Meet Mark Copeland, who brings a fascinating perspective from his role as Director of Educational Travel for the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. His story takes us from the airline industry to historical tours through 8th Air Force bases, and to the shores of Normandy,  emphasizing the emotional connections formed with veterans. Mark's passion for the Eight Airforce is palpable, and our conversation with him sheds light on the fascinating world of historical travel. Learning the details of these exciting tours, offers listeners a chance to join these historical journeys.

Whether you're here for the camaraderie, the community insights, or the chance to learn about spectacular educational travel opportunities, this episode promises an engaging and enlightening experience. Don't miss the stories, the history, and the promise of thrilling new projects on the horizon.
