This pilot and plane shot by Jon Hall doesn’t show off his Blue Lightning nearly enough but does make for a great picture. Do make sure to look at all the pics.

Must be a day of planes...
Mikepsiaki has built a cute little biplane that I couldn’t pass up:
While the construction of this plane is deceptively simple, the beauty of it really jumps out at you. Using mostly basic bricks, the builder has really captured a neat plane. He says it isn’t based on any real plane, but it is a perfect example of the genre. Slightly cartoony, really cute, and just a little bit burly…overall a sweet little plane.
Here’s the gallery
Tora, Tora, Tora!
After seeing the beautiful Boeing B-29 bomber Josh posted, I could hardly neglect JUNLEGO’s swooshably cool Mitsubishi A6M2 “Zero” fighter:
(The Zero was the primary Japanese fighter in the attack on Pearl Harbor, after which the code phrase “Tora, Tora, Tora” was transmitted back to Tokyo to indicate that total surprise had been achieved.)
JUNLEGO has also posted a floatplane version of his Zero. Incidentally, he’s been working on a battleship Yamato that may rival Malle Hawking’s Harry S. Truman when it’s done!
Bombs Away!
JunLego has posted a very cool B-29 Bomber:
The details on this creation are quite good. The subtle shaping of the fuselage, the functional bomb bays, the rear gun, etc. Its a great piece of eye-candy. It never would have occured to me to use the tie fighter cockpit for this plane, and it works perfectly! Lovely, lovely plane!
