That includes having to search through 10 pages of PayPal buttons to find the specific ones I need for each version.

I'm also working on new releases. Gathering info for the model pages usually finds me a few interesting pictures that inspire repaints, so I end up off in the weeds playing with Photoshop. Plus refreshes. I've got B-26 Invaders, RA-5 Vigilantes and OV-10 Broncos out for beta build.
Good luck Mr. Murphy. I like your models very much. Just one question, are you planning to update those old models that have no formers and include them? It would be a fantastic up date on your really nice aircraft some of which are not available anywhere. Hope you can consider this suggestion.

I try to add formers when I can, but I lost the digital models a long time ago, so adding formers is mostly guesswork, and mostly ends in disaster.

Question about Russian models: is it too soon to start releasing again? I ask because I had a few Soviet era models close to the beta build stage

they are just models Aaron, I see no harm in releasing them, if politics or ethics were involved we should have to ban German planes form WW2...

Regardless of politics, this invasion of Ukraine is hot and getting hotter. I encourage you to hold off, out of solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

During WWII, I remember listening to Jack Armstrong, The All American Boy urging us youngsters to eat our Wheaties and send in our box tops and 10 cents to get flying paper models of both friendly and foe aircraft flying (glider) models of the aircraft doing all the fighting. I ate a lot of Wheaties and got almost all of the planes. My Dad helped me build them and fly them. He was an Air Raid Warden and running the Purchasing Department of a Defense Plant. I really don't think designing and building models of war machines has anything to do with the real world (unless you are paying your enemy to design and build them for you ). Just saying.

Perhaps a good compromise would be to release an equal number of models in Ukrainian schemes. I think it's clear that depicting historical aircraft of the defunct USSR is not the same as those in Putin's invasion force.
