 Hobby News! 

This summer is HOT! If you are living in the North-East US, you sure know what "hot" means... So stay inside, and get to your benches as there is PLENTY to build!

I was off on a deserved vacation on the West Coast last week. The employees of Kitlinx did a good job shipping as much as they could!

Here are a few pictures of my visit of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier. Not sure the wife and kids thought it was included in their holiday package... but they got their share of sun!

(if you wish to see larger pictures, just capture the picture link, and copy in your browser)

Can you see the USS Einsenhower in the bay? This picture is from the sideboard-side-hull elevator 

USS Einsenhower across the bay with my camera lense at full focus. Don't mess with the US!

"The Kiss" - appreciate the scale of this model... look at the feet of the woman

SBD Dauntless ready to pounce!

The bombs that hit the Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu and Soryu at Midway... While their Zeros were pouncing on the SB2U Vindicators
