Another New guy
Posted by 1973ChallengerGuy on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 4:22 PM

Hello all, F.N.G. here after a break from the tube glue for a few years. Since I have alot of free time on my hands after getting layed off from Learjet  I picked up a few kits and restarted my sickness  ERRR pastime.

Jumping back in with the clear B-17G then of course had to get a B-24D then a P-47D yup I remember this now! However the whole photoetch stuff is wild and had to go all out on the 17 so now I am in way over my head but slowly making headway! Besides WW2 aircraft I have done ship,modern aircraft  a bit of space stuff only thing is haven't done is cars but I am restoring a  real 1973 Challenger hence the screen name ! Now off to set the rest of this profile up!

Thanks for the warm welcome gentlemen! Here are a few shots of the Challenger. Keep in mind this car was sitting in a few boxes for 10 or so years until she fell into my hands. I will post a few on my 17 when I get around to take some pics of it  prob tonight some time with some luck.
