Budd of the week

Dustin

Her name was Jina

On the subject of appropriation which I wrote about yesterday, Popular Front makes it clear that the woman killed in Iran was a Kurd, adding an important ethnic element to the gender. She is being appropriated as a Persian victim. She’s a woman and a Kurd and an Iranian and her name is Jina, not the official name of Masha.

The Wiki is scandalous, ‘also known as Jina’. The Talk section is pure evil. Colonialist and imperialist.

Oh the filth in the comments above underlines my point. Colonial appropriation.

Touchy fellas

An imperial cossack uniform is a symbol of genocide, fellas.

Assassin’s Creed Russia

Flight Craft: McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom

Geoff Coughlin

Pen & Sword Books

Those familiar with the Adjutants Lounge Podcast Paint & Page series of modelling discussions will instantly recognize stalwart guest Master Modeller Geoff Coughlin's name. Geoff has taken a break from podcasting and running his highly successful online modelling resource centre scalemodellingnow.com to produce a great new title for Pen & Sword Books Flight Craft series.

As with all Craft series of enthusiast's titles, the reader will feel instantly at home with this potted history of the undeniably outstanding McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom. Despite recently passing its sixtieth year in service, the evergreen F-4 is an indisputable icon of the skies. Geoff has paid more than an appropriate homage to this instantly recognizable aircraft. The story of the F-4 flows comprehensively and concisely and, above all, is immaculately researched. The beautifully curated selection of modeller builds, the cornerstone of any Craft title, will undoubtedly leave the reader scurrying to their local hobby store or online retailer, keen to replicate the works they've seen.

Filled with a beautiful selection of stills covering six decades, some showing unrivalled details, alongside a series of clear modelling stills, this new title is, without doubt, a must for the aviation historian's bookcase. The profiles are among the cleanest and most accurate I've seen and help provide a visual reference to the F-4s story; of note are the profiles of the F-4 in British service.

I look forward to seeing more from Geoff very soon. Although, I have a feeling I won't have to wait long.
