Just started this for the new year. 1/1000 Polar Lights USS Enterprise refit. Not a whole lot of
parts but tons of decals. About 116 Aztec style decals cover almost 90% of the plastic. So far
it's the saucer. saucer to engineering "neck" and the two pylons that attach the warp nacelles
to the engineering section body. I built the 1/1000 TOS Enterprise a couple years ago and
thought this would look good next to it. The second new build will be the Revell 1/72 B-17F
Flying Fortress. I just ordered it so it won't be in for a bit. My father mentioned flying one in
1944 when he was in training out "west", thinking California, before he got shipped out to
Guam then Okinawa with the USAAF. He wasn't a pilot, just a lowly corporal on a bulldozer
cutting airfields for bombers going to Japan. Not sure how he fly it but he said the pilot told
him to sit in co pilot's seat when they were on a training flight and he "told" him what to do.
Dad said he swore the wings were actually flapping! Here are some pictures of my Enterprise
build start and the kit on it's way.---John
