I have that GWH 48 Devastator. Got to get the guts up to build it. Maybe go with some yellow wings too.

That is cool. I got to see the whole movie when a friend loaned it to me. Wow, what awesome flying and airfield tarmac scenes!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Yes, for naval aviation buffs, this movie is one to watch for the eye candy of those scenes.
