Aircraft power pack for Microsoft flight simulators

The aircraft power pack is made by Shockwave productions inc. You can uses it on Microsoft Flight simulator X  or Microsoft Flight simulator 2004 and it includes FIREPOWER for Microsoft Combat flight Simulator 3(CFS3). I have CFS3 and this add on make it look a lot better, I have no video card and it works fine when you fly through smoke it get a little choppy but other wise it works great. I really like the choice of airplanes and missions. The type of planes you get are.
B-17F and G Flying Fortress
B-29A Superfortress
B-24J Liberator
Lancaster BIII and one you can carry the Grand slam bomb
P-40 Warhawk
He-162 Salamander
Ar-234B2 Blitz Bomber
And several others
This is a great add-on I would recommend it

You can buy it here.Aircraft Power Pack

Revell Supermarine Spitfire 1/48 scale

The Revell Spitfire was a fun model to build. It comes with two makings you can choose from. It comes  with paint guide that is easy to understand. The markings that come with it are Douglas Bader form November 1940 and No. 118(F) Squadron 1941. It was an easy model to build but it looks great.

1/72 scale Minicraft Model Kits B-24L Liberator review

The B-24L by Minicraft Model Kits is a very nice model kit. It comes with the option to make it with bombbay doors open or closed. It comes with the four markings you can choose from. It is a very nice model but the tail drops down when fully built, so I would recommend to glue the door on the bottom of the plane open so the back of the plane resets on it, making the front wheel hit the ground.Over all it is a very nice model.

B-24D Liberator

The B-24D Liberator is an American World War II bomber. It had nine machine-guns. The B-24D was a very big plane, it had four engines and could carry up to 8,000 lbs of bombs. The B-24D did missions in the south pacific and in Germany. In the south Pacific it would do anti-submarine missions, and in Germany bomb factories. It was dangerous to fly B-24s on a mission you could get hit by flak or get intercepted by enemy fighters.
