USS HORNET

My wonderfull first mate Ruthie about 10 years ago bought me this kit of the Hornet for my Birthday the funny thing was the night before i was watching Thirty Seonds Over Tokyo she saw me watching the movie as I was cheering when the B-25s were being launched into the 46 mile an hour gail. On my Birthday thye next day I had to go to the hobby shop for some glue and paint and some No.11 blades. My ruthie said can I come along she ventured into the model section she knew what I wanted. I was hunting down the paint she went to the cashier and purchased the kit I didn,t even know it until I went to the car. she was quicker then a cat I had no Idea. got into the car Happy Birthday popeye she said and handed me the kit. I cried for a moment old dudes do cry when they are happy. This an expensive kit. the kit is from Trumpeter first time i have ever heard of this company you all guesed it its from China like everything else is in America and all over the world. although this not paper I wished it was but I thought I would post this to keep you peepers busy until I get to the Lurline. I will have more pictures tomorrow on the Lurline. Hears the Shangrila of the Tokyo raid.
