Hello Modellers,

interior.Specially the Cockpit,Bomberdiers nose and waistgun positions in
the back of the aircraft.Even scans of the Monogram/Revell 1/48 are good for

I've been "over" watching the 1940 film Dive Bomber. It is a 45 min
guy film after I skip past the 1940 mushy stuff.
Is there any hope for a good model of the Vought Vindicator. Outdated
at the start of the war, it is still the quintessential dive bomber to

OK, guys and gals.
Our friendly folks at Special Hobby have announced two 1/72 scale kits that

I've always fancied building a Tiger tank, the Version I not the King Tiger.

I have the Heller Draken kit. I would like to make it up in some more

I went to both local HLs today.  The only thing I could find I wanted was an

anyone done that?
