Greetings! Returning to planes after nearly 40 years.

Hello,
Like many of you, I spent a number of adolescent years building model airplanes before life got in the way. Over the past 10 years or so, I put together a few of the old Aurora monster model re-issues and dabbled in model railroading. At a train fair a couple of years ago, someone was selling the Monogram SBD and Kingfisher models for five bucks each. After the last monster model, I got a sudden itch to work on the planes. I build dozens of the old Monogram kits in my youth, and my last build had been the P-38 back in the mid-70s. So far, I've finished the SBD and the P-47 "Bug" (given to me for Christmas by my son, who says he wants me to show him how to do this stuff on the next one). I plan to build WWII birds in 1/48, always my favorite scale. I'm enjoying my return to the hobby and plan to post some pics one of these days.
Cheers,
Stoutfella
