New and need help

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 8, 2003 12:58 PM

Hi everybody -
I'm a first timer to the Forum, old to modeling. Last year I lost my house to a fire - built-ups and models--all gone.
Now I'm looking to replace them all, but need sources for
1) Build-up service of plastic aircraft- 1/72 & 1/32
2) Vintage mint-in-box unbuilt kits (like John F Green used to be)

Any suggestions----anybody??

Welcome to the forums. If you post your questions in the Aircraft forum the guys there will answer all your questions.

That really sucks. You may want to look at the buy and sell forums on hyperscale.com, aircraftresourcecenter.com and modelingmadness.com - lots of model business going on there as well as several folks who build on contract. And there is always ebay.
