New to the Scene

Welcome Jerry, it's a great hobby good to people returning to it in this age of electronic toys, still nothing like holding it in your hands and being proud of the finished product.

Welcome to the forum,I see you are

in Auckland, which part?

Your sunderland build, being a Mk III, I gather one of

the 4 RNZAF ones (Tainui/Takitimu etc)? I have a Mk III on the bench my self.

Not sure I agree with your comment re not a lot

happened in New Zealand during WWII.

We have quite a history -we didn't get bombed, but

lots of stuff happening none the less, war wise

welcome to the forum. you will learn a lot and have fun in the process . so glad to have you abord.

Hey thanks for the welcomes guys!

Not alot happened in NZ during WWll, We did get a few good planes out of it tho! There was a Battle of Britain anniversary airshow in Auckland over the weekend, Commemorating Keith Park, which i missed!

I actually have had a disaster happen today, Ill post some pics and ask for advice in the Aircraft section of the forum. My partner open the curtains over my modelling desk and the bloody magnifying glass burn my B-17!!! Unbeilevable bad luck!! haha!

Oh and no luckily i wasnt affected by the Quake, But i feel sorry for everyone down there. Its been one of the worst winters in years!

Sweet. another kiwi, that makes...3? 

Hi Jerry, my Uncle John spent some time in Auckland, New Zealand during WWII in the US Army. He showed me a photograph of him standing on a rock in the Auckland harbor that was a local landmark.

I'm age 60 and live about 3 miles from the Brazos River about 65miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. Like you I'm in the process of picking up the pieces my modeling hobby again. Its been 8-10 years and things have changed so much. So many new products and information sharing on the internet makes me feel like a beginner. So I am doing research into the changing techniques and new tools available to buy, provided my monthy fun money budget allows me to purchase anything.

You mentioned getting an airbrush so I would like to offer this link  http://airbrushtips.110mb.com/ which covers all the essential information about how an airbrush functions and what different brands can achieve.

Good Luck ~ Danny

Welcome to the forums. enjoy. Ron

Welcome to the Forums Jerry .  Glad you're here.

Regards,  Rick

Cheers mate!

Welcome to the FSM forums, I hope you find inspiration and useful techniques to better your skill set.

Back in 89' I had a couple condo mates from NZ while working on a ski hill. Cool people yet I believe they had a bit of 'culture shock' living in basically a party condo that mostly resembled a stereotypical frat house.

* I hope all your friends and family were safe from the earthquake.

aboard Jerry, great to have you here!

to the forums. Can't wait to see some of your work.
