For those of us us who are Sci Fi fans and raised in the 60s, the original Star Trek was a benchmark. It ended flames and rocket ships, had social commentary, camp galore and was just plain fantastic for me a young boy growing up in [...]

by Greg Kittinger on February 27, 2015 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

I love to buy old lots on eBay, and this kit was one I built when I was a boy. It is a VERY toy-like kit - no panel detail, no cockpit to speak of, and the whole tail section "slotted" into the back end leaving huge gaps (any [...]

by Tom Bebout on February 25, 2015 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

So a co-worker throws this kit on my desk and states I hear you build models, got this for $10 so have some fun. Well who wouldn't want to build one of the most successful reconnaissance aircraft from WWII, and besides I like P-38's. [...]

by Joe Caputo on February 25, 2015 · in Automotive · 10 ≡

Some friends in a club in southern Florida were having a group build. I thought it would be fun to give them some support, and add to their total number of entrants. Unfortunately, mine will only be pics, and not there in person, but [...]
