They did a lot better job than the models I used to make.

I’d rather do the big one, I could never do those models, they always ended up with half the pieces missing, some glued on in the wrong spots, etc.

I had no patience for the old time model glue, where you had to hold a piece for 10 minutes... then i’d pull my fingers away only to find it didn’t stick to the model, it stuck to my fingers... good times.

But the best part was floating the boats in a pool or setting the tanks up and tossing firecrackers at em or shooting bottle rockets out of em.

(yeah, I had one of those childhoods!)

Revell models were the best, most detailed as I recall.

I remember wanting the USS Arizona model for Christmas as a kid. My parents searched many stores before finding it. I kept that model I built well into my 30’s.
