Hello from Wisconsin!
Posted by Anthonyb on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 8:53 PM

Hello all, Thought I'd introduce myself since it appears I have become addicted to the joys of modeling!  My name is Anthony and I am just getting back into modeling after an 18 year break.  I used to model cars with my dad as a kid.  I am using this as a safer alternative to my other 2 hobbies of whitewater kayaking and Park Style Snowboarding. Now that I have picked up the hobby again, I am modeling military aircraft (approx. 1970's to present).  It kind of goes hand in hand with my job at the local airport, where I have had the opportunity to see and photograph some awesome planes (the A-10 and F-18 Super Hornet being my favorites).  I try to model the planes I have fueled with my own custom decals, as it adds a slightly more personal feeling for the model rather than using the decals from the kit.  I am currently working on revell's A-10 which I am modeling after the West Coast Demo Team's Warthog that was recently at our Airshow.  That's about it for now, I'll see you in the forums!

On a side note, I subsequently have a lot of photos I have taken for reference images of some of these aircraft, such as a very good set of detailed photos showing the F-18 landing gear, so should anyone be interested, shoot me a line and I'll e-mail them to you.
