discussion The spirit of St. Louis

[Guest]

Hi chaps!

I don't usually look the tv many hours, but yesterday for casual, doing zapping I found this film!!!

I never see it before, and must say that I enjoy a lot with it!!

The film is from the year 1957 but I found great.

Someday will look for a plane like this and build!

PS: was fun see James Stewart talking with a fly

Cheers

I remember enjoying the film years ago polux.

Its a good film about an interesting man who made history, well played by Stewart who manages to portray lindberghs struggles brilliantly in my opinion.

Saw this film ages ago, thought it was mad flying the thing with only a periscope for a forward view. Funnily enough I have just taken the Novo 1/72 model out of the stash and made a start on it. Testors also do one. I got mine from Hannants for a couple of pounds as it came in a bag with no decals, however I emailed Testors in the U.S. and they very kindly sent me a set of their decals which should fit.
