I am from southern California I have been building models for about 30 years I spent 4 years in the u s navy as a flight deck director onboard cv-63 uss kittyhawk I build mostly 148th scale aircraft and armor with an occasional 1350th scale ship

WOW never seen so much PE before it was a little scary never built a ship and never delt with so much PE but it was a fun build The FFG-57 Rueben James
The Pro Modeler kits are pretty good built this oob of course it did come with PE and Resin so I guess oob isn't exactly accurate This is a fictisous squadron late in the war
Hobby Boss F6F the one I posted as a Tamiya kit and got everyone excited...sorry just thought I would re-post with better pics
As always Tamiya is awesome this kit is smooooooth and fun love the detail and fit Built oob no need for AM parts
this is a multi media kit it was a tough but fun build and an interesting subject
While I was aboard Kittyhawk I worked on the flight deck and directed this aircraft amongst others build was oob decals from Two Bobs
This kit is challenging lots of fit problems the resin cockpit fit better than the kit supplied one not my best work but im happy with it what do ya think
If you like helos Academy does a great job built this oob with the exception of scratch built wiring and plumbing inside cargo bay fun build
