New kid on the Block
Posted by Kodachrome 25 on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 6:32 AM

Hello from Worfelden Germany, my name is Dan Tillyer.after coming over here with the Army in 1994 I stayed over its been 15 years now, still enjoy it as much as back then. Ive been building models as far as I can remember, built all kinds  of them always stay with Aircraft though. I just ordered the 48 scale B-58 Hustler from Monogram it will be my first aircraft with a natural metal finish, with it comes Alclad 2 High gloss finish the last time I tried something as fun as this my buddy Murphy (Murphys Law) enjoyed sharing his time with me, this time I think he is on vacation I hope.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums. when i went over there in the army (baumholder) back in '90-'91, i enjoyed myself...but i had no desire to live there. Whistling [:-^]. anyway, for us "older" guys, would ya mind making your text a little bigger...really hard to see when ya have to squint all the time. Wink [;)] Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

Hello camo junkie,two questions, first is this letter size easier to read ? second are your models 48th scale or larger ? if you answered yes to both of these questions then we are in the same boat...okay enough of that nowadays anything smaller than 48th is just a memory this is why when the 58 was reissued as a 48th scale model I jumped on it really quick !
